An article in Our Culture features an interview by Konstantinos Pappis with graphic designer and illustrator dlt (Dave Thomas). Among the albums discussed is Hauschka’s What If.

Excerpt from the interview:
“… For What If, he’d found a photographer that he really liked, her name was Nicola Hackl-Haslinger. And he picked out a few images that he loved, and I thought that really struck a chord, especially the close ups of some of the things where you weren’t really sure what it was. It’s elements of, like, the inside of old analog machines, so there is this sort of industrial, technological feel to it. And when you hear Hauschka’s music, even though it is played on a piano, because he has a background in more electronic music from years and years ago, he brings in that sort of feel of the rhythms of electronic and dance, but to analog instruments. So with this particular record, I loved that the subject matter of the some of the photography, you could couldn’t quite place what it was. …"

What If was released by City Slang on 31 March 2017.

This series emerged from an ongoing collaboration with composer and pianist Volker Bertelmann, aka Hauschka.

For his 2019 album A Different Forest, Bertelmann invited me to create the photographic artwork in response to his previously unpublished compositions. I developed a series of images that became the album’s inner gatefold imagery.

A Different Forest was released by Sony Classical on 8 February 2019.
