Immerse yourself in the innovative world of Oscar-nominated composer Volker Bertelmann, known as Hauschka, in our collaboration with Spitfire Audio. This documentary delves into Hauschka's unique approach to music, where chaos meets deep purpose, and the piano transforms into an expansive sound universe.

Discover the 'Hauschka Composer Toolkit', a comprehensive collection of sounds birthed from the piano and its percussive rhythms. This toolkit includes baselines, blocks, swells, and shimmering pads, all curated by Hauschka himself. His journey with prepared piano, inspired by electronic music, uses materials on the piano strings to create synthesizer-like effects, adding incredible depth, tension, and texture to scores.

Hauschka emphasizes the power of randomness in music, inspiring new ideas and unusual sounds. From rhythmic variations to layered arpeggios and unique drum kits, this toolkit is designed to help composers find their voice and spark creativity. Explore how Hauschka's collaboration with Spitfire Audio offers a world of musical exploration and inspiration.
