Info for Encores 3

Aller guten Dinge sind drei: Klangmeister Nils Frahm hat heute den dritten und letzten Teil seiner Encores-Reihe angekündigt. Die abschließende EP „Encores 3“ erscheint via Erased Tapes. Mit dem knapp zwölfminütigen „All Armed“ gibt es bereits jetzt schon die erste Auskopplung zu hören. Darüber hinaus werden alle drei Encores EPs zu einem Gesamtwerk gebündelt und einem Monat später unter dem Titel „All Encores“ veröffentlicht. Der Longplayer vereint insgesamt 80 Minuten exklusives Material, mit dem Nils Frahm an sein gefeiertes, zuletzt veröffentlichtes Studioalbum „All Melody“ aus dem Jahr 2018 anknüpft.

"Die Idee zu „All Encores“ hatten wir genau genommen schon vor „All Melody“: Nämlich drei Veröffentlichungen zu machen, von denen jede ihren eigenen musikalischen Stil hat und ihr eigenes Thema. Wir hatten daher zunächst sogar an ein Triple-Album gedacht. Doch dann wurde „All Melody“ immer größer und verdrängte diese ersten Konzeptideen."

Lag der Fokus von „Encores 1“ vor allem auf akustische Klangwelten (Soloklavier und Harmonium), wurde auf dem zweiten Teil verstärkt auf Ambient-Texturen gesetzt. Mit „Encores 3“ komplettiert Frahm die Trilogie mit den rhythmischen und elektronischen Aspekte seiner Musik.

Nils Frahm

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'.

This album contains no booklet.
