F.S. Blumm & Nils Frahm 2X1=4 LEITER Verlag GmbH & Co. KG, in cooperation with BMG Rights Management Across the last decade Nils Frahm and F.S.

Nils Frahm: Graz

Nils Frahm Graz Erased Tapes Records Ltd. Nils Frahm. Exquisite. Piano master. A producer and wizard with electronics and all sorts too – but at the core of it all is just his two hands, his heart and soul and the piano stool that places him in the space where he needs to be. From […]

Nils Frahm: Encores 1 [EP]

Nils Frahm Encores 1 [ep] Erased Tapes Earlier this year Nils Frahm delivered his new album, perhaps his finest and one of the best by anyone this year. All Melody was the first delivered results from his newly created home-studio, though now we have the proof that those sessions served up an embarrassment of riches […]

RNZ Reviews: February 2018

Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so a couple of years into […]

Nils Frahm: All Melody

Nils Frahm All Melody Erased Tapes A new studio and some hand-built instruments appear to be the main catalysts behind the subtle shifts on this, the tenth Nils Frahm solo album. Where most recently it was about pure solo piano works here we open with wordless vocals and move on to a pulse created from […]

Poem: Nils Frahm

It starts as silence, turns – slowly, surely – into music, then in on itself, then folds away… a waft within the drift, a wash to take it all the way away back toward (a new) silence, then the next note appears… steady your heart, for he’s about ready to break it again.

Radiohead: A Moon Shaped Pool

Radiohead A Moon Shaped Pool XL Recordings It’s nearly been to the detriment of the music that every Radiohead album for the last decade has been discussed as much for how it came to be – and how you found out about it – as much as there’s been any discussion of the music. Amazing, […]

Sasha: Late Night Tales presents Sasha: Scene Delete

Sasha Late Night Tales presents Sascha: Scene Delete Late Night Tales This is an interesting release – and a really great one too – it’s Sasha’s first studio/production album in over a decade and it’s simultaneously still (something of) a mixtape, and something befitting the Late Night Tales Late Night concept. I like, too, that […]

Olafur Arnalds & Alice Sara Ott: The Chopin Project

Olafur Arnalds & Alice Sara Ott [Frederic Chopin] The Chopin Project Mercury Classics If you’re a fan of Max Richter’s work – particularly his entry into the “Recomposed” series (reworking Vivaldi’s Four Seasons) then The Chopin Project will interest you. Here, soundtrack composer and electronic musician/pianist teams with German-Japanese pianist Alice Sara Ott to recontextualise […]

Jon Hopkins: Late Night Tales

Various Artists Late Night Tales: Jon Hopkins Late Night Tales Late Night Tales – the formula is great, well the idea, as it’s never (quite) a formula. Essentially an artist makes a mixtape, but the clue is in that series-title, Late Night, so these tales are the type told at 1am or 3am or 5am, […]

Nils Frahm: Late Night Tales

Various Artists Late Night Tales: Nils Frahm Late Night Tales The Late Night Tales series, when it works properly (and it usually does) gives some insight into the artist’s influences, more than that though it’s a mixtape of hopes and dreams. And also it’s designed – the very concept of it is – to suggest […]
