Hauschka - Snowflakes and Car Wrecks (other formats)
Bought this the other day from a lovely basement vinyl section of a cafe in Falmouth called Jam.
Lovely (mainly) piano music. Just the right side of pretty and interesting and quirky... ie not too pretty, interesting or quirky. You got to get the balance right in my opinion. I'm not sure how to catagorise classical sounding music, but it's pretty much simple 'pretty' sounding classic pieces, in a calm Phillip Glass/Steve Reich type way.
He apparently fiddles with and generally messes with the piano strings - taping them together etc, to get a slightly off key sound. To be honest the sound isn't massively off key, but you do get nice sort of missed notes, or wrong keys sounds at times... Just enough to keep it interesting... but not too interesting to make it too quirky... and not so quirky as to spoil its pretty face.
A good listen or a good background...
