fender Rhoads electric piano Roland Juno 60 synth Roland chorus echo (the weird box that Nils sticks his hand in to sometimes) Electroharmonix #1 echo (the pedal on the Juno) Moog moogerfooger ring modulator (the fancy looking pedal on the Roland chorus echo) and of course the most important piece of gear: Nils also rhoads pianos are so weird, nothing really like them has been made in the last 60 years, they are like an electric guitar and a piano had an odd baby that wears synthesizer clothes. anywho cheers, i like gear
If you just close your eyes long enough, you are in pure blizz. This is the perfect combination of melody and production. And only a talent, a truly talented man, sent to earth to fill us with a beutiful abstrahation from the quiet times of our day here in 2020.
Millions of likes for commercially successful substance-less tripe, and a mere 20,000 for a masterpiece like this. World is screwed up. Thankfully there is still music like this out there for those willing to find it.
It's marketing. I've encountered some EXCELLENT musicians who don't have much of a social media presence, don't advertise their work effectively, and their online store doesn't include any hats or t-shirts when that could EASILY boost their income while also promoting their band. If you want to be a financially successful musician, you have to go beyond just music. Make some t-shirts. Build a social media presence. Promote your work and encourage people to share it. Post regular updates so that people can follow your work, and try to post regular updates.
I think the most deep, beautiful and soul-stirring music & experiences will always be far from the mainstream. They require a different level of sensitivity and consciousness!
I'd love to hear this guy play as part of a full band; or at least, what it sounds like when he manipulates drum machines as part of the act. Amazing synth and electric piano musician.
Amazing music! Ripped me to shreds. %) Thank U! If I flew in deep space expedition far from Earth, perhaps one way, then it's the music that I would take with me.
Nils Frahm überwältigt mich immerwieder! bei jedem einzelnen durchhören, hört man wieder etwas neues raus.. und jedesmal aufs neue wird mir richtig warm von innen! unendlich schön! :) aber, wie geil es doch wäre mit sonem setup zu spielen!
One of my favorite songs of all time. I get the distinct feeling he made this track spontaneously. Like, it came to him, and he had to play it. I'm like that too...
Do you want to sound cool with "as fuck"? Like in the hollywood movies? You will surely be cooler when you use words for grown up and mature people ;-)
Man, I wish I can watch this live. I wish Iearn to play like this. How do I start? Anyone got suggestions how to go about this? It would mean the world to play like this. Talent to the maxx
Hey, since no one ever gave you an explanation, he's using a vintage synthesizer and a tape delay to lengthen and flesh out the sounds the synthesizer is creating. It takes hundreds of hours of practice with expensive vintage equipment to be able to make sounds like that
A drum machine would ruin this. I typically don't like this kind of stuff but this guys the first person I've seen okay this type of music all on his own like that. Instead of ya know, just pressing play.
