(Photo by Mara von Kummer) hackedepicciotto (Alexander Hacke & Danielle de Picciotto) have shared details of a new album, “The Best of hackedepicciotto (Live in Napoli)”, that collates over 20 years of collaboration over two live performances recorded at the Auditorium Novecento, one of the oldest recording studios in Europe.
The album will be released on double vinyl, limited to 500 copies with exclusive signed print, and digitally on 1 November 2024, via Mute.
For over 20 years Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten) and artist, musician and filmmaker Danielle de Picciotto (co-founder of Love Parade) have been working together. The album includes reinterpretations of tracks from all of their studio albums: “Keepsakes” (2023), “The Silver Threshold” (2021), “Perseverantia” (2016), “Menetekel” (2017), and “The Current” (2020).
This new collection is a mixture of industrial beats, electronic sounds with classical harmonies and melodies, with some throat singing, Hurdy-gurdy and spoken word. Daniel Miller of Mute goes on to say that “their music is a genre of its own, something new and very intriguing.”
Listen to “The Silver Threshold (Live in Napoli)”, the title track from their 2021 album.
