Nils Frahm at Funkhaus Berlin 

Gives me chills every time I watch it. Did see it a lot of times!

Indeed I was thinking the same. Incredible how many variations he gets for one piece

I've been thinking in similar terms about Nils for a while, too. As Beethoven did throughout his career by constantly sending feedback to piano manufacturers, Nils is also pushing the piano as an instrument and piano music forward by for example working with piano manufacturer David Klavins in creating the tallest of its kind yet. Only think of the possibilities of such colossal piano! Nils is questioning the piano design and rethinking it, Klavins made this UnaCorda exemplar for him which he took on his last tour. Is not pretentious to compare him with Beethoven but actually just a bar we have to size the impact of Nils' music today, when is hard to find ground-shaking ideas and fresh sounds. (That being said, the whole bunch signed under Nils' record label, Erased Tapes, are all worth listening to and all have quite unique sounds).

There's no fucking music to make, you idiot dolt. There's no fucking instruments. There's no freedom. There's no one to play for. And there's no money in it, playing on streets or in studios bc we're not that good. :/

hoffM83n you nailed it .......this is great stuff

Except, this is not an abandoned warehouse, it's the sound studio of old East Germany’s GDR. And Frahm is one artist occupying a *custom-built* studio in the vast complex. :P (I agree that the soul of one's music is the what makes it worth listening to...)

Check out his album called Spaces it's mind blowing from start to end.

@Alexandru Neagu i know:) just referring to the beautiful experiences people can have in rave culture. his setup is obviously fantastic

I recorded many albums in that studio(P4),and all I can say is,what a waste...this place is perfect for recording bands(in my case it was jazz and contemporary music). Not so much for a monophone sequencer track. But still,all the best. That's the reality of today

Who are you to judge and have expectations

kaloresiblu I'm entitled to my own opinion.

... definitely - and very aware of this ;) ...

That rhodes piano near the end is pure gold.

Dmytro Leonov Hoping you’ll find it here. A great site anyway.. equipboard.com/pros/nils-frahm

Timm Brockmann thug life

Berlin af

It cramps his characteristically unpretentious style way too much

haha right!!!

do it!!

hazardousifwet Sunson off of All Melody

Loris Spinsante the song is Sunson, a new track from the new album All Melody

yes i know but there are a lot of differences :) this part (in the video) is more "chill" and "harmonic"

I heard it as well. I think this is the live version, often a bit different from the original. It is a beautiful piece of music!

Sunson

its all analog bro

I believe he uses Ableton live, and I can see a laptop bro.

He uses Cubase, he's done a video with Steinburg explaining why he likes it. Also, the laptop is for plug-ins. He once did an interview saying it was impossible to transport some of the equipment, though the computer reliance is being phased out.

Actually,I think he is using a laptop as a sequencer. Also, it is possible to send clock input from a cubase to Juno's arpeggiator (just electrical signals for arp rhythm). Im pretty sure he is using midi to Juno on his fantastic track called "All melody". What a great musician...Inspiration bomb :D

Creator's Remorse shut up, Sulu

Do you know why there are no seats?
