Music is Music: Nils Frahm
Listen now
Description
Nils Frahm's hands began gracing a keyboard at an early age. He learned the classics as a kid. Everything changed when he discovered Keith Jarrett. It took a while, but Frahm realized he couldn't get through life being a Jarrett clone, so he eventually moved on... and out. Electronic music and Berlin's club scene floated into the picture before Frahm turned back to his roots and the piano. By this time, however, Frahm was busy blending a stew all his own. A blend of piano, electric keyboards and effects processors give Nils Frahm the palette on which he draws from. He's continually trying to explore and create new sounds in a way that is uniquely his own. On this installment of music is music, we're going to hear a version of a piece called, "Hammers." It's a piano-only piece that flies out of his fingers and usually leaves him exhausted by the time it's over. This version is from his 2013 release, Spaces.
