Danielle de Picciotto & Alexander Hacke
鈥淗ackedepicciotto鈥� are Alexander Hacke and Danielle de Picciotto. Both are legends of their own making: Danielle de Picciotto moved from NYC to Berlin in 1987, to become the lead singer of the band 鈥淪pace Cowboys,鈥� the co-initiator of the Love Parade, a collaborator of the Ocean Club with Gudrun Gut, and Alexander鈥檚 partner in crime. Alexander Hacke is founding member and bass player of Einst眉rzende Neubauten. The artist couple, romantically married since 2006, has creatively interacted with countless international projects for almost 2 decades now besides regularly releasing their own compositions. Their live shows are, to put it mildly, intense. Danielle specializes in unusual instruments such as the hurdy-gurdy, the autoharp, and the cemence besides playing the violin and piano; Alexander is master of the bass, guitar, and drums. Together they create beautiful, existentialistic, acoustic soundscapes, which roar and vibrate simultaneously leaving their audiences shaken but overjoyed. Danielle, an author of two books, writes most of their lyrics, be it the poetic spoken word moments or the momentous choirs they compose together. Alexander Hacke, an excellent throat singer, and vocalist, growls his gnarly, rumbling cries that float eerily over their nomadic desert drones, with screeching birds, bees or wild wind accompanying slow, heavy riffs that start as a whisper and end in a volcanic, rolling wave of apocalyptic frenzy. The collage of this mixed with melancholic, translucent harmonies, very heavy & low bass chords, and electronics has generated an ever-growing group of enthusiastic listeners.
