Volker Bertelmann je nemecký skladateľ filmovej hudby a experimentálny hudobník, známy aj pod pseudonymom Hauschka. Preslávil sa svojou inovatívnou prácou s preparovaným klavírom a atmosférickými soundtrackmi.
Album Ballad of a Small Player na LP prináša filmovú hudbu z drámy o hazardnom hráčovi v Macau. Soundtrack kombinuje klavírne motívy s ambientnými textúrami a napínavou orchestráciou, ktorá dotvára príbeh ponorenia sa do sveta kasín a morálneho rozkladu. Vinylové reedície vyšla ako limitovaná edícia na červenom vinyle. Medzi výraznými skladbami zaznie The City of Dreams, Lamma Island alebo záverečná Ballad Closing Credits.
