Ews Nsj my god. he never plays this instrument from the outside, rather he plays deep within it, absorbing as he presses keys, the materials, space and vibrations w such an honesty that the most intensely beautiful stories of sound can be the only result. thank u for taking us with you to this sacred place. all recordings are exceptional. Highly recommended w decent hphones

Kevin Dew Peaceful, reflective another beautiful solo from Nils. As one blissed out soul shouted from the audience at Nils Southampton concert, "Music for the gods".
A joy to listen and feel part of his soundscape. He is becoming an old friend. Love and Peace

Bernd Rühle Das Größte war er je gemacht hat, es fehlt nur noch ein leises Stöhnen....

paul80808 Butter notes is gorgeous. Thank you Nils for the imperfect sound isolation. I adore hearing the sound of your instrument movie, the faintest dogs barking in the background, the sound of your clothes ruffling when you shift positions. Favorite track: Butter Notes.

about

Nils Frahm shares a new collection of solo piano music, his first album since 2022’s three-hour 'Music For Animals'. 'Day' is available on limited edition vinyl as well as via all digital platforms. It was recorded in the summer of 2022 in complete solitude and away from his studio at Berlin’s famed Funkhaus complex.

'Day' may come as a surprise to those who, over the last decade, have watched Frahm shift slowly away from the piano compositions with which he first made his name in favour of a nonetheless still-distinctive approach that’s considerably more instrumentally complex and intricately arranged. In addition, in 2021, having spent the early part of the pandemic arranging his archives, he released the 80 minute, 23-track 'Old Friends New Friends', a compilation of previously unreleased piano music intended to enable him to ”start over” with a clean slate. Judging from the extended, ambient nature of 'Music For Animals', it proved a successful gambit, but Frahm has never been able to resist returning to his first love, and those who enjoyed earlier acclaimed albums like 'The Bells', 'Felt' and 'Screws' will once again revel in 'Day'’s familiar, personal style.

Characterised by its confidential mood, the new album confirms that, while Frahm is arguably now best known for elaborate, celebratory concerts calling upon an arsenal of pianos, organs, keyboards, synths, even a glass harmonica, he’s still a prolific master of affecting simplicity, tenderness and romance.

about

Nils Frahm Berlin, Germany

Berlin-based contemporary composer Nils Frahm has built a steady reputation for his intimate, poignant piano recordings, yet they so far only showed a fragment of what to expect from a Nils Frahm concert. Frahm’s heart lies in improvisation, in the magic of a moment where, inspired by the space and the audience, his fingers can create new compositions loosely based around his familiar melodies ... more
