Info for All Melody

Neues Studio, neue Freiräume: Auf seinem siebten Album findet der Minimal-Produzent zu sich selbst.

In den letzten beiden Jahren war Nils Frahm damit beschäftigt, hinter den majestätischen Wänden des historischen Berliner Funkhauses ein neues Studio zu bauen: den Saal 3. Damit erfüllte sich Frahm einen Kindheitstraum, den er hegte, seit er das erste Mal das beeindruckende Tonstudio eines Familienfreundes erleben durfte. Bei der Renovierung wurden nicht nur sämtliche Kabel, Leitungen und Vertäfelungen neu montiert. Auch eine Orgel und ein komplettes Mischpult, die er in Eigenregie mit Hilfe von Freunden konstruiert hatte, fanden im Saal 3 ihren Platz. So entstand ein Ort, an dem Musik wachsen kann und wo Ideen kultiviert werden können. Das heißt ein Raum, in dem Frahm seine Musik so gestalten und präsentieren kann, dass sie seinen eigenen Vorstellungen so nah wie möglich kommt. In diesem Kreativreich an der Spree entstand aus den immensen Freiräumen und Möglichkeiten heraus "All Melody", Frahms siebtes Studioalbum. Es ist der wohlklingende Beweis dafür, dass Musik wirklich keine Grenzen kennt. Dass sie zeitlos ist. Und dass Frahm einen sehr langen Weg zurückgelegt hat - vom staunenden Kind bis zu einem Künstler, der die Parameter der Musik im eigenen Studio komplett selbst steuern kann.

„Ultimately, All Melody feels like a slight misnomer for such an ambitious and unclassifiable album. While undoubtedly boasting its share of earworm tunes, it's as much a showcase for the sheer plasticity of recorded sound as a vehicle for mellifluous expression.“ (Mojo Magazine)

„Merging musical approaches - jazz, house and dub flavours orbit the classically-influenced core - it sustains suspense and surprise over 12 emotionally-impactful tracks.“ (Q Magazine)

Nils Frahm, alle Instrumente

Nils Frahm
was born in 1982 and from a very young age, he really enjoyed piano lessons, amongst others those given by Nahum Brodski, one of Tchaikowsky ́s last pupils. In his early days he also discovered Keith Jarrett ́s epochal improvisational music and the boundary-pushing musical worlds of the exceptional label ECM. Classical and jazz music have since become equal sources of inspiration for the pianist, alongside minimalist music and pop.

Nils Frahm had an early introduction to music. During his childhood he was taught to play piano. It was through this that Nils began to immerse himself in the styles of the classical pianists before him as well as contemporary composers.

Today Nils Frahm works as an accomplished composer and producer from his Berlin-based Durton Studio. His unconventional approach to an age-old instrument, played contemplatively and intimately, has won him many fans around the world. For a musician this early in his career, Frahm displays an incredibly developed sense of control and restraint in his work, catching the ear of many fans.

As the recognition continues to grow for his previous solo piano works 'Wintermusik' (2009) and ‘The Bells’ (2009), 2011 saw the release of his critically acclaimed record 'Felt' on Erased Tapes Records. The album was followed by the solo synthesiser EP 'Juno' and 'Screws' (2012) – a birthday gift to his fans he recorded while recovering from a thumb injury. Nils released his follow up to Juno titled 'Juno Reworked' (2013) with guest reworks by Luke Abbott and Clark.

Nils returned with his new album 'Spaces' in 2013, expressing his love for experimentation and answering the call from his fans for a record that truly reflects what they have witnessed during his concerts.

In 2013 Nils Frahm released his first music book, entitled 'Sheets Eins'. Nils is currently on his worldwide 'Spaces Tour 2014'.
