Hauschka

Hauschka (1968), real name Volker Bertelmann, is a German pianist and composer known for his pioneering use of the prepared piano. Classically trained, he played in multiple bands and projects before starting to release minimal piano music under the Hauschka alias in 2004. Later he worked with orchestras and musicians such as violinist Hilary Hahn. Starting to score feature films in 2012, he went on to write enormously successful soundtracks, some of them in collaboration with Dustin O’Halloran.
