Description:

On his debut album at Sony Classical, Oscar-nominated composer and pianist Hauschka (Volker Bertelmann) describes the experience of the forest as a metaphor for the search for the meaning of life. 'A Different Forest' is the first solo album for which he completely renounces the preparation of his piano. With the album, Hauschka addresses the experience of nature as a basis for his understanding of life and its way of composing. The nature experience for Hauschka is symbolized by the image of the forest: in 'A Different Forest' I deal with the forest as a natural space and contrast with everyday urban life; to my habitat. Where do I want to live and work, what environment do I need to realize myself? In dealing with these questions, I come back to nature again and again. When hiking, you often go straight, into the unknown. You are in an environment that gives you no security, and you have to rely on your own perception to find your orientation, explains Hauschka, not only finding a basic idea of world orientation, but also the origin of his art to compose: My way of composing has a lot in common with the free hikes in nature. For me, musical ideas are waypoints in playing and playing itself is the hike that connects them. I arrange sounding ideas in a musical journey. -

Pianist and Oscar-nominated composer returns to the pure piano for his first album with Sony. He writes: "In A Different Forest, I'm focusing on the forest as a natural environment and contrast to the urban everyday life; to my surroundings. Where do I want to live and work? What surroundings do I need in order to feel fulfilled? By examining these questions I always come back to nature. How often have I gone for a walk and finished on the crest of a hill or mountain top, and found a new perspective on things. It's quite a moving experience. The experience of the sublime. Realizing that everything has been there for such a long time and will continue to exist, yet in contrast, our human existence is reduced to but a fraction of the earth's history." The forest is also a symbol of change for Hauschka. Here people can find themselves again and feel surrounded by, as well as a part of, a unified whole.
