Hauschka North American Tour

Hauschka (aka Volker Bertelmann), the German 'Prepared Piano' guy who experiments with his instruments more than Pink Floyd or Sonic Youth did back in their respective days, released his album Foreign Landscapes last Fall on the 130701 imprint of FatCat Records.

Now he's at it again, with the upcoming album Salon des Amateurs due out on April 11/12. The new album continues Hauschka's move away from the Prepared Piano and into more orchestral movements. This stuff is powerful when played loud ... worth checking out.

John Vanderslice & Magik*Magik Orchestra Spring Tour

John Vanderslice is setting out for a slew of Spring tour dates with the Magik*Magik Orchestra and Minna Choi, all in support of their collaborative album White Wilderness.

Mr. Vanderslice and the Magik*Magik Orchestra recorded the album over a three-day period to give it a fresh, less-toiled-over sound. As a result, it sounds more live and spontaneous ... something that should translate well in the live show.
