In order to strengthen the music production between both the Kenyan and German music scene, the Düsseldorf-based pianist and composer Volker Bertelmann aka Hauschka has been in Nairobi. Accompanied by Sven Kacirek, they have cooperated with several Kenyan musicians and recorded songs together for two weeks.
On this occasion, Hauschka will perform a concert and present his composed music which is based on the so-called “prepared piano”. To explore and influence the outcome of his music, Bertelmann modifies parts of the instrument, attaching various objects to the strings such as gaffa tape, kitchen foil, felt wedges, bottle tops, ping pong balls, guitar string, thus creating a new and experimental sound.
The concert is an occasion to listen to fascinating experimental music from one of the most interesting contemporary composers.
