Nils Frahm - Screws (2012)




/Modern classical, Piano music, Minimal, Post-classical/

Comment: Screws was recorded while Berlin, Germany based musician Nils Frahm was recovering from a thumb injury. The album includes volatile chord progressions and restrained motive developments played on the piano. Indeed, those motives spawned over there used to surface and then meander over lone landscapes and then disappear into nothing. It can say that Frahm´s goal is not to reach some goal in a direct sense but just to move on and provide moody impulses and moments. On the other side, the album`s sense can be considered a successful equilibrium between silence and sound.
