"I hear myself breathing and panting, the scraping sound of the piano's action and the creaking of my wooden floorboards – all equally as loud as the music. The music becomes a contingency, a chance, an accident within all this rustling. My heart opens and I wonder what exactly it is that makes me feel so happy."
Sadly, I can't even find the words to describe Nils Frahm. There is something so magical about his music that causes my mind to get lost in a world so far from reality. To say that I spent an hour last night listening to this pianist and letting my thoughts flow freely onto a blank sheet of paper, wouldn't be a lie. Nothing I write about this composer / producer would even begin to describe the beauty of his work.
My personal favorite, "Wintermuzik," was Frahm's first album and released through Erased Tapes Records. Following this release were The Bells (2009), Unter | Über (2010), Felt (2011), and Juno (2011).
