Bleep

Where else can one hear a glass harmonica, automated pipe organ, minimal techno drum machines, and spaceship console of synths than at a Nils Frahm concert? Paris documents his March 21, 2024 performance at the Philharmonie de Paris following Day and Music For Animals, where melismatic piano tiptoes light as a feather, then thrusts into rhythm with watery beats and melodic ripples. As lacustrine synth textures cruise throughout, Frahm asks the audience to “transform into wild animals”, their rainforest of calls reused throughout while classical chamber music swerves progressive electronic swerves kaleidoscopic electronica with scattered, trilling organ notes and sophisticated beat patterns.
