Composer Nils Frahm has shared new 27 minute piece ‘Briefly’.
The musician used Berlin’s Funkhaus complex as a basis for his new album, his first since 2018’s ‘All Melody’ and 2019’s associated ‘All Encores’.
Work continued throughout 2020, and the tumultuous revelations brought by the pandemic; finally sealing off sessions this year, Nils Frahm closed the door on LEITER STUDIO and confirmed plans for incoming album ‘Music For Animals’.
Out on September 23rd as a lavish 3CD and 4LP set, it’ll also go on streaming platforms. New piece ‘Briefly’ is online now, a spectacular 27 minute achievement that oozes past any boundaries placed in its way.
A lengthy composition, it’s far from formless – Nils Frahm’s exacting techniques are brought to the fore, providing something immersive, but also riveting.
“My constant inspiration,” Frahm says of the album as a whole, “was something as mesmerising as watching a great waterfall or the leaves on a tree in a storm. It’s good we have symphonies and music where there’s a development, but a waterfall doesn’t need an Act 1, 2, 3, then an outcome, and nor do the leaves on a tree in a storm. Some people like watching the leaves rustle and the branches move. This record is for them”.
Tune in now.
