{"product_id":"frahm-nils-spaces","title":"Frahm, Nils - Spaces","description":"\u003cp\u003eBerlin-based contemporary composer, Nils Frahm, has built a steady reputation for his intimate, poignant piano recordings, yet they so far only showed a fragment of what to expect from a Nils Frahm concert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrahm’s heart lies in improvisation, in the magic of a moment where, inspired by the space and the audience, his fingers can create new compositions loosely based around his familiar melodies. \u003cem\u003eSpaces\u003c\/em\u003e is an ode to the joy of live performance. It expresses Frahm’s love for experimentation and answers the call from his fans for a record that truly reflects what they have witnessed during his concerts. Breaking the convention of a traditional live album, \u003cem\u003eSpaces\u003c\/em\u003e was recorded over the course of two years in different locations and on various mediums, including old portable reel-to-reel recorders and cassette tape decks. These moments were later pieced together in his Durton Studio and referred to by Frahm as a collage of field recordings rather than a live album. It Includes surprise moments such as the sound of him banging a toilet brush on the piano strings to create a dub-sounding track. The decision to select takes that have people coughing and cell phones ringing show that his audience is an integral part of every performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his own words: ‘What I love most about playing in front of people has something to do with a certain kind of energy exchange. The attention and appreciation of my audience feeds back into my playing. It really seems as if there is a true and equal give and take between performer and listener, making me aware of how much I depend on my audience. And since the audience is different every night, the music being played will differ too. Every space I performed in has its own magic and spirit.’\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erased Tapes","offers":[{"title":"Black 2LP","offer_id":50158323269910,"sku":"RMX-11767","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2CD","offer_id":50158323171606,"sku":"RMX-04515","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/20dcfefac9245a91efcd221168f6613b.png?v=1777458416","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/frahm-nils-spaces","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
