Over There


Very much in the vein of what I'm listening to at the moment comes Nils Frahm, Berlin musician and producer who combines piano pieces with classical and electronic music. Sometimes it can be a bit too polite and more background music than ambient (and there's a difference I think) but sometimes he really hits the mark. This one is from his album Spaces, released in 2013, and was made up of collages of him playing the piano, field recordings and reel- to- reel tapes. Over There It's Raining is piano, rain and tape noise. Pensive and atmospheric. Very January.
