I Close My Eyes

Recorded in 2014 – shortly after the release of his latest full-length album, Abandoned City – I Close My Eyes is an intimate suite of pieces for solo piano, written and performed by Volker Bertelmann, aka Hauschka. Uncharacteristically straightforward and charmingly simple, I Close My Eyes finds Hauschka breaking from the rhythm-driven prepared piano works for which he is most known. It is a charmingly minor, emotionally resonant album that fits right at home alongside those who influenced, particularly Satie, Debussy, Brahms, and Chopin.
