hackedepicciotto Vinyl Records
Hackedepicciotto is an experimental duo consisting of longtime partners Alexander Hacke (of Einstürzende Neubauten) and Danielle de Picciotto, an American-born musician, artist, author, and filmmaker. Their work together consists primarily of stirring soundscapes blending acoustic instruments such as violin, hurdy-gurdy, and autoharp with rumbling bass guitar and electronic feedback. Both artists sing and chant -- de Picciotto recites colourful poetic lyrics, and Hacke occasionally throat sings. While the pair describe their music as "cinematic drone," they incorporated post-industrial rhythms into their 2020 full-length The Current and the more expansive, symphonic 2021 release The Silver Threshold.
