HAUSCHKA — A NDO C Y
More Info
"Limitiertes Vinyl mit Remixen von DEVENDRA BANHART und ELUVIUM. Im letzten Jahr verffentlichte HAUSCHKA (alias Volker Bertelmann) mit ,Abandoned City" ein Album von Klavierstcken, die von vergessenen Orten inspiriert wurden, die langsam verfallen und zurck in die Natur bergehen. Das Album war prachtvoll und einzigartig bewegend - Kritiker applaudierten und HAUSCHKA unterstrich einmal mehr seinen Status als Mitglied der Elite moderner Komponisten. ,A NDO C Y" ist eine Fortsetzung der Geschichte von ,Abandoned City", erzhlt ber zwei Seiten. Seite A versammelt fnf Tracks aus den Sessions zu ,Abandoned City"; eine Suite aus Songs, die sich zu einem ausnehmend stimmigen Ganzen fgen. Diese Songs verarbeiten minimalistischen Techno ebenso wie moderne Komposition, was die Tracks wie gemacht fr Remixe erscheinen lsst. Auf Seite B interpretiert die Folk Ikone DEVENDRA BANHART ,Agdam" von ,Abandoned City" neu - zu Fragmenten aus einzelnen Klavierbeitrgen und aufbrausenden Synthies. Im Vergleich ist die Interpretation von ,Stromness" von ELUVIUM beinahe schockierend euphorisch, whrend Kaskagen aus Verzerrung sich ber einzelne Klaviertne ergieen. Als Download gibt es hier noch berdies ein atemberaubendes Livealbum, das Ende 2014 in Japan aufgenommen wurde. Die 40-mintige Performance teilt sich in zwei 20-mintige Improvisationen, die sich auf Themen von ,Abandoned City" grndet.
A NDO C Y is a continuation of the Abandoned City story, told as a tale of two sides. Side A features five tracks conceived during the Abandoned City sessions, a suite of songs that together form an exceptionally resonant whole. As with Abandoned City, these songs owe as much to minimalist techno as modern composition, which makes them particularly conducive to remixes. On Side B, experimental folk icon Devendra Banhart distills Abandoned City standout, "Agdam", to barely-there, fractured clusters of solitary piano strikes and swelling synths. By comparison, Eluvium's transformation of "Stromness" sounds almost shockingly euphoric, all cascading waves of distortion washed over a plethora of plucked piano pings. Included as a special bonus download is a stunning live album recorded in Yufuin, Japan in late 2014. The 40-minute performance is split into two 20-minute improvisations built on themes from Abandoned City. It's a gorgeous glimpse of live Hauschka, a world where songs you think you know become entirely new works of art at the mercy of Bertelmann's whims.
