2018 release. For the past two years, Nils Frahm has been building a new studio in Berlin to make his seventh studio album titled All Melody. His previous albums have often been accompanied with a story, such as Felt (2011) where he placed felt upon the hammers of the piano out of courtesy to his neighbors when recording late at night in his old bedroom studio, and the following album Screws (2012) when injuring his thumb forced him to play with only nine fingers. This album is born out of the freedom that his new environment provided, allowing Nils to explore without any restrictions and to keep it All about the Melody. Despite being confined within the majestic four walls of the historical East German Funkhaus, buried deep in it's reverb chambers, or in an old dry well in Mallorca, All Melody is, in fact, proof that music is limitless, timeless, and reflects that of Nils own capabilities. From a boys dream to resetting the parameters of music itself., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Alto Vocals [Shards]: Kate Huggett, Alto Vocals [Shards]: Rose Martin (3), Alto Vocals [Shards]: Sarah Latto, Bass Vocals [Shards]: Augustus Perkins Ray, Bass Vocals [Shards]: Dan D'Souza, Bass Vocals [Shards]: John Laichena, Cello: Anne Müller, Choir: Shards (5), Conductor [Shards], Arranged By [Shards, Co-Arranged By]: Kieran Brunt, Design: Torsten Posselt, Drums: Tatu Rönkkö, Engineer [Assisting Engineers]: Antonio Pulli, Engineer [Assisting Engineers]: Matthias H.

« All Melody » est un album envoûtant du compositeur et pianiste allemand de renom Nils Frahm proposé ici au format CD par le prestigieux label Erased Tapes/ Indigo. Cet opus met en avant la capacité unique de Frahm à fusionner minimalisme classique contemporain et textures électroniques subtiles pour créer une expérience sonore immersive et émotionnelle où l?organique rencontre l?innovation technologique musicale avec finesse et poésie. Révélé au grand public grâce à des ?uvres majeures comme « Felt », « Spaces » ou encore « Screws », Nils Frahm s?est imposé sur la scène internationale avec ses performances captivantes dans des lieux emblématiques tels que le Barbican Centre à Londres ou la Philharmonie de Paris. Le fabricant derrière cette sortie ? Erased Tapes/ Indigo ? est reconnu pour son engagement envers les artistes novateurs qui repoussent les frontières musicales entre musique néoclassique moderne et électronique expérimentale.
Yet another winner from Nils Frahm. So consitently good in production and performance. I am hoping he will be also able to surprise with innovation but I am happy enough with a peak performer.
