Benoit & Sergio - Lost Decade - VINYL LP

For Volker Bertelmann, aka Hauschka, music is not solely about it's sound, but also a means to facilitate the exchange of ideas and foster meaningful interactions between individuals, revealing his fascination with human connection and engagement. Despite being known for his distinctive prepared piano sound, the Academy Award-winning composer intentionally named his 15th solo studio album PHILANTHROPY to express his compassion and openness. The album's song titles, such as InchDiversity,Inch InchNature,Inch InchLoved Ones,Inch and InchAltruism,Inch perfectly align with their respective musical compositions. Hauschka's albums often serve as a to provoke dialogue on specific themes, and PHILANTHROPY follows this pattern, aiming to offer optimism and energy in response to the challenges of recent years. The album combines upbeat and pensive pieces, featuring moments of joy, introspection, and peaceful interludes. Overall, PHILANTHROPY showcases Hauschka's compositional prowess and serves as a gift that sparks reflection and celebration.A1. DiversityA2. SearchingA3. InventionsA4. DetachedA5.
