I got quite carried away by Hauschka’s first album on Fat Cat’s spin-off (post-) classical label, 130701, Room to Expand. It’s one of a handful of albums that have been released in recent years exploring the possibilities of the prepared piano.

I listened to the latest effort by the pianist, composer, and former Future Sound of London collaborator, Max Richter, without realising that there was a concept behind the album. I won’t spoil it for you yet if you don’t know, but you may guess from the description that follows. Richter’s previous work exists in the space that overlaps more or less contemporary “post-classical” music (Cage, Eno, Pärt) and experimental electronica. It is music that could be heard as performed by the London Sinfonietta or composed by outfits such as Hauschka.
