So, I'm listening to Hauschka. Math paper in front of me, I'm tapping on my "clear" key repeatedly, trying to figure out what makes Hauschka sound so enchanting.
The strings? Nope.
The piano would seem like the most sensible reason. It's the melody afterall. But, nope.
The double bass that plucks inconspicuously behind. Almost at random, irrelevant moments that you don't often anticipate correctly, albeit at a set rhythm of course.
But... It sounds, almost, almost. Almost like irregular raindrops.
Hauschka. Even saying it sounds like magic.
