5) USE OF SINGLE SIGN-ON PROCEDURES

On our website, you can create a customer account and/or register using the
social plug-in, “Facebook Connect”, provided by the Facebook social network
operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA
(“Facebook”), by means of so-called single sign-on technology, provided you have
a Facebook profile. The “Facebook Connect” social plug-in on our website is
identified by a blue button featuring the Facebook logo and the words, “Connect
with Facebook” or “Log in with Facebook” or “Sign in with Facebook”.
When you visit a page of our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser
establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. The content of the
plug-in is transferred from Facebook directly to your browser and included on
the page. As a result of this inclusion, Facebook is informed that your browser
has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a
Facebook profile or are not currently logged into Facebook. This information
(including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a
Facebook server in the US, where it is stored. These data processing processes
are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR based on Facebook’s
legitimate interest in the insertion of personalized advertising on the basis of
surfing behavior.

Using this “Facebook Connect” button on our website allows you to log in and/or
register on our website using your Facebook user data. Only if you give your
express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR prior to the
registration process on the basis of a corresponding notice about the exchange
of data with Facebook, we will receive the publicly accessible information
stored in your profile when using the “Facebook Connect” button from Facebook,
depending on your personal Facebook privacy settings. This information includes
your user ID, name, profile picture, age and gender. We would like to point out
that following changes to Facebook’s privacy and usage policies, your profile
pictures, your friends’ user IDs and your friends list may also be transmitted,
if these are marked as “public” in your Facebook privacy settings. The data
transmitted by Facebook is stored and processed by us to create a user account
using the necessary data (title, first name, surname, address details, country,
e-mail address, date of birth), if you have shared this information on Facebook.
Conversely, data may be transmitted by us to your Facebook profile; this may
include information about your browsing and/or purchasing behavior.

The consent given can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the
controller named at the beginning of this declaration.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and further processing and use of
the data by Facebook, as well as your rights and setting options for protecting
your privacy in this regard, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy:
http://www.facebook.com/policy.php

If you do not wish Facebook to assign the data collected via our website
directly to your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting
our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of Facebook plug-ins
using add-ons for your browser, e.g. “Adblock Plus”
(https://adblockplus.org/en/).

6) USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING

6.1 If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will send you regular
information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the
newsletter is your e-mail address. The indication of additional possible data is
voluntary and is used to be able to address you personally. We use the so-called
double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will not
send you an e-mail newsletter, unless you have expressly confirmed to us that
you agree to the sending of the newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation
e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive future newsletters by
clicking on an appropriate link.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your
personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. When you register for
the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service
Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration so that we can trace
any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later time. The data collected
by us when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the
purpose of advertising by means of the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the
newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a
message to the responsible person named above. After your cancellation, your
e-mail address will immediately be deleted from our newsletter distribution
list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we
reserve the right to use data in excess thereof, which is permitted by law and
about which we inform you in this declaration.

6.2 Our e-mail newsletters are sent via the technical service provider, The
Rocket Science Group, LLC d/b/a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000,
Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (https://mailchimp.com), to whom we pass on the data you
provided when registering for the newsletter. This disclosure is made in
accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in
the use of an effective, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. Please note
that your data is usually transferred to a MailChimp server in the USA and
stored there.

MailChimp uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the
newsletter on our behalf. For evaluation purposes, the e-mails sent contain
so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent single-pixel image
files stored on our website. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter
message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In addition,
technical information is recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser
type and operating system). The data are raised exclusively in a pseudonymized
format and are not linked with other personal data from you. A direct personal
relationship is excluded. This data is used exclusively for statistical analysis
of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better
adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you wish to object to the data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes,
you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.

Furthermore, MailChimp can use this data according to Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR
even on the basis of its own legitimate interest in the demand-oriented design
and optimization of the service as well as for market research purposes, for
example to determine from which countries recipients come. However, MailChimp
does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to address those recipients
or pass that data on to third parties.

To protect your data in the USA, we have concluded a data processing agreement
(“Data-Processing-Agreement”) with MailChimp on the basis of the standard
contractual clauses of the European Commission to enable the transmission of
your personal data to MailChimp. If interested, this data processing agreement
can be viewed at the following Internet link:

7) USE OF VIDEOS

Use of Youtube Videos

This website uses the YouTube embedding function for display and playback of
videos offered by the provider YouTube, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited,
Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 ESW5, Ireland (“Google”).

To this end, the extended data protection mode is used to ensure, according to
provider information, that user information will only be stored once the
playback function of the video is started. When the playback of embedded YouTube
videos is started, the provider sets “YouTube” cookies in order to collect
information about user behavior. According to indications from YouTube, the use
of those cookies is intended, among other things, to record video statistics, to
improve user-friendliness and to avoid improper actions. If you are logged in to
Google, your information will be directly associated with your account when you
click on a video. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on
YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google saves your data
(even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.
Such an evaluation takes place in particular according to Art. 6 (1) point f
GDPR, on the basis of the legitimate interests of Google in the insertion of
personalized advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its
website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles,
whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. When using YouTube,
personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Regardless of whether the embedded video is played back, a connection to the
Google network “double click” is established when visiting this website. This
may trigger further data processing beyond our control.

Further information on YouTube data protection can be found in the provider’s
data protection statement at: www.google.com/policies/privacy/

To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent to the processing
of your data as described in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. You can
withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. In order to
exercise your right of withdrawal, please follow the procedure described above.

8) RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

8.1 The applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive rights of data
subjects (rights of information and intervention) vis-à-vis the data controller
with regard to the processing of your personal data, about which we inform you
below :

* Right of access by the data subject pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR
* Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR
* Right to erase (“right to be forgotten”) pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR

* Right to be informed pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR
* Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR
* Right to withdraw a given consent pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR
* Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR

8.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT

PERSONAL DATA ON THE BASIS OF OUR PREDOMINANT LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE ON THE
GROUNDS THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA
CONCERNED. HOWEVER, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO FURTHER PROCESSING IF WE CAN PROVE
COMPELLING REASONS WORTHY OF PROTECTION FOR PROCESSING WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR
INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES TO
ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA WHICH ARE
USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES. YOU MAY EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED
ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED
FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES.

9) DURATION OF STORAGE OF PERSONAL DATA

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective
legal retention period (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods). After expiry

ABOUT

About

Before he became known as an Oscar-nominated composer, producer and pianist,
Volker Bertelmann had long been keen to absorb countless influences and push his
creative limits, experimenting at an early age already with just how different
he could make the piano sound through preparations.

UPSTREAM 2021

Together with filmmaker Rob Petit & writer Robert Macfarlane, Hauschka has
created a dream-flight into wildness and winter through an eerie, hypnotic
soundtrack of the Scottish highlands. The brooding, deep compositions form a
beautiful and captivating album that stands alone as a truly transportive piece
of work: close your eyes and travel. Limited edition vinyl LP. Label: Sonic

A DIFFERENT FOREST 2019

Curious

A DIFFERENT FOREST 2019

On his Sony Classical debut “A Different Forest”, Volker Bertelmann aka Hauschka
does away with his customary instrumental preparations and transmits the power
of the bond between music and nature. Embracing the passion, poise, and power of
pure piano, he delivers thirteen compositions that immediately illustrate his
virtuosity, vulnerability, and vitality. Label: Sony Classical

Buy now

WHAT IF 2018

My Kids Live on Mars

WHAT IF 2018

“What If” finds Hauschka expanding his range by programming parts for player
pianos, exploiting their speed, manipulating the resulting sounds, and building
layers to emphasize a composition’s meter. Overflowing with haunting melodies,
mysterious sounds, and complex patterns, the album redefines the very notion of
piano music in an exceptional fashion. Label: City Slang

A NDO C Y 2015

Hashima Island

A NDO C Y 2015

A NDO C Y is a masterpiece of Hauschka’s experimental approach towards the
piano. Minimalist techno and modern composition – Side A features five tracks
conceived during the Abandoned City sessions. On Side B, experimental folk icon
Devendra Banhart distills “Agdam”, to barely-there, fractured clusters of
solitary piano strikes and swelling synths. Label: Temporary Residence Ltd.

2.11.14 2015

Yufuin Part 1

2.11.14 2015

This limited edition vinyl LP documents two 20 minute improvisations, which were
recorded in Japan in November 2014 and are very loosely based on Hauschka’s
preceding album “Abandoned City”. The result is a captivating energetic stream
of consciousness set to music. In parts this appears even more like a DJ set,
you may dance! Label: City Slang

ABANDONED CITY 2014

Elizabeth Bay

ABANDONED CITY 2014

Hauschka’s compositions on “Abandoned City” awaken the loneliness and
unattainable romance of timeless, unfamiliar places, with cinematic melodies
full of resonant overtones, bright cheerful keyboard patterns and dark
percussive touches. The tracks all bear the names of actual vacant cities which
served as inspiration. Label: City Slang / Temporary Residence Ltd.

SALON DES AMATEURS REMIXES 2012

Radar (Michael Mayer Remix)

SALON DES AMATEURS REMIXES 2012

Following up Hauschka‘s groundbreaking “Salon Des Amateurs” release, comes this
great collection of electronically-angled remixes commissioned from a selection
of highly respected producers. Pitched between the dancefloor and the more
experimental edges of electronica, the cast of remixers is largely drawn from
fellow German artists, friends and FatCat allies. Label: FatCat

SILFRA 2012

Krakow

SILFRA 2012

“Silfra” is the culmination of a two-year exploratory improvisation project by
Grammy Award-winning American violinist Hilary Hahn and prepared-piano master
and innovator Volker Bertelmann (Hauschka). The music on this ambitious and
free-spirited collection is a tribute to the Silfra rift in Iceland, an
otherworldly landscape that inspired the two musicians to create a body of work
that is evocative, hypnotic and truly breathtaking. Label: Deutsche Grammophon

PAN TONE 2011

Black 6

PAN TONE 2011

“Pan Tone” is a recording of a concert which Hauschka and Icelandic cellist
Hildur Guðnadóttir performed in February 2010 at Kings Place in London, born out
of the desire to create a series of compositions based on the idea of the ocean.
The collaboration is a dynamic, full-bodied and strongly narrative outing – with
a percussive drive underscoring the expected cello, piano and electroacoustics.
Label: Sonic Pieces

SALON DES AMATEURS 2011

Radar

SALON DES AMATEURS 2011

Where his preceding album “Foreign Landscapes” saw Hauschka shifting from his
acclaimed solo ‘prepared’ piano into full-scale orchestral compositions, “Salon
des Amateurs” sees the artist utilising the percussive qualities of the treated
piano for a unique take on techno and house music. Label: FatCat

Buy now

FOREIGN LANDSCAPES 2010

Alexanderplatz

FOREIGN LANDSCAPES 2010

Hauschka’s third album for FatCat’s 130701 imprint sees him stepping out from
his established niche as a prepared piano player, boldly extending his
repertoire, resetting his music within a rich orchestral score. Nine of the
album’s twelve tracks feature a 12-piece string and wind ensemble from San
Francisco’s Magik*Magik Orchestra, alongside Bertelmann’s own prepared piano.
Label: FatCat

SMALL PIECES 2009

“Small pieces” is Hauschka’s seventh release since 2004 on which the German
pianist and composer is focussing on minimal pieces utilizing only few or no
preparations. Label: Secret Furry Hole

SNOW FLAKES & CAR WRECKS 2009

With “Snow Flakes and Car Wrecks”, Hauschka presents a beautiful extended EP of
previously unreleased material, all of which was recorded during the “Ferndorf”
sessions. Featuring seven new tracks (five on the vinyl edition), the EP is a
follow-up to an album which has continued to draw widespread critical acclaim.
Label: FatCat

FERNDORF 2008

Blue Bicycle

FERNDORF 2008

Where Hauschka’s previous album “Room To Expand” comprised mostly solo
recordings of his prepared piano, “Ferndorf” is a far more expansive and
fully-realised album, with many of the tracks also featuring a string duo,
enabling an increased solidity. Whilst the recordings still retain the shivers
and tics of the modified internal workings of the piano, these are less central
and instead what’s foregrounded is the melodic / rhythmic push and pull, and a
development towards more orchestrated music and notated compositions. Label:
FatCat

ROOM TO EXPAND 2007

Kleine Dinge

ROOM TO EXPAND 2007

“Room to expand” by Volker Bertelmann aka Hauschka plays with different
possibilities of the prepared piano – a playfully disruptive intervention into
the preconceived idea of the piano as a pure-toned, perfected instrument waiting
for a gifted virtuoso to play on it. Label: Fat Cat

THE PREPARED PIANO 2005

Kein Wort

THE PREPARED PIANO 2005

On his second album entitled “The Prepared Piano”, Hauschka is clamping vocal
wedges of leather, felt or rubber between the piano strings, preparing the
hammers with aluminium paper or rough films, placing crown corks on the strings,
weaving guitar strings in, or pasting it off with gaffa. The resulting tracks
are vivid, unconventional pieces made of playful research-enthusiasm. Label:
Karaoke Kalk

SUBSTANTIAL 2004

Fragile

SUBSTANTIAL 2004

Hauschka’s first album “Substantial” comprises a variety of atmospheric and
experimental piano pieces following a conceptual approach, whereby the starting
point of each piece is improvisation. A natural, intuitive and passionate
development of piano sounds with no objective in mind than the music itself.
Label: Karaoke Kalk

SILFRA

HILARY HAHN & HAUSCHKA

Silfra, named for the geographic feature near Reykjavik, Iceland, where the
North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, represents the breathtaking
locale where the album was recorded but also signifies the unfamiliar terrain
where these two distinct musical minds met to collaborate. Spending ten days at
Greenhouse Studios in Reykjavik in May 2011, “we felt that we could go anywhere
we wanted within the music if we created it in an environment that allowed us
the freedom and independence to explore,” Hilary Hahn and Hauschka wrote in the
album’s liner notes. That prepared piano and violin could sound so perfectly
suited is surely indicative of the musical chemistry that their groundwork and
setting created.

PIECES FOR STRING QUARTET

ALMA QUARTET & HAUSCHKA

Among his many collaborations is Hauschka‘s work with the Alma Quartet, an
ensemble made up of musicians from Amsterdam’s two top orchestras, which he
originally met in the Dutch capital’s legendary techno club Trouw. Commissioned
by the Composition Commission Fund of The Royal Concertgebouw, Hauschka composed
and arranged several pieces for the string quartet, with whom he debuted at
Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, followed by concerts at the Elbphilarmonie and
Konzerthaus Berlin.

AN ENCOUNTER OF IMPROVISED MUSIC & DANCE

HAUSCHKA & EDIVALDO ERNESTO

Dancer Edivaldo Ernesto (Sasha Waltz & Guests) and Hauschka met on stage for the
first time in 2013. In their performance, the duo enters into an artistic
dialogue and performs without the security of composition and choreography. They
present an improvised interplay of sound and movement – without the constraints
of a fixed programme, and ready to welcome surprising discoveries, spontaneity
and mutual inspiration.

Piano + ElectronicsHauschkaDanceEdivaldo Ernesto

ANNNA³. THE WORLDS OF INFINITE SHIFTS

ALEXANDRA WAIERSTALL & HAUSCHKA

In Alexandra Waierstall’s choreography, three female dancers pass through
various emotional and existential processes. They appear and disappear, rise up
and succumb, cling and release. They summon forth physical landscapes replete
with toppling stabilities. Actions and situations seem pre-ordained by fate.
Scenarios arise on what might or should have been. The prepared piano, an
elemental part of the stage set, creates sounds and moods, rhythms and tempos.
Physicality itself becomes an object of reflection.

TOTALITY IN PARTS

LUKAS TIMULAK & HAUSCHKA

In this creation, choreographer Lukáš Timulak and set designer Peter Bil’ak
explore organisational principles of nature by looking closely at relationships
between elements defined both by mathematical algorithms as well as seemingly
free expression. Timulak scrutinises the inseparability of individual from group
behaviour. Using minimalistic graphic eypression, the piece invites the public
on a journey to study the outside world but also to get to know themselves
better.

WHERE THERE’S FORM

ASZURE BARTON & ARTISTS / HAUSCHKA

Canadian choreographer Aszure Barton and her dancers embarked on a collaboration
with Hauschka accompanied by cellist Insa Schirmer, performing a live score that
explores an intensive dialogue between dance and music. This transatlantic
collaboration takes place against the backdrop of increasing dystopian rhetoric
worldwide, in which language serves to escalate, discredit and sabotage a real
debate. Barton and Hauschka, however, reveal passionate, smart bodies and
sounds, which demonstrate humanity’s capacity for coexistence.
