Eyolf Dale - The Space Between Two Notes - VINYL LP

2020 . To mark this year's Piano Day and as an acknowledgement to these unprecedented circumstances we find ourselves in, Nils Frahm surprised the world with a collection of eight solo piano pieces, titled Empty, made available digitally on March 28. Conceived of just before Nils broke his thumb and composed the similarly intimate solo piano album Screws, Empty is a soothing vessel of eight simple and serene pieces originally recorded as the music to a short art film he shot with his friend and film director Benoît Toulemonde. Drifting through emotions from the stark and sobering opener 'First Defeat', to the gently euphoric 'No Step On Wing' and the contemplative but hopeful closer 'Black Notes', with it's poignant minute of silence, Empty is a comforting score for these turbulent times.

Vinyl LP pressing. Directed by renowned artist JR, Ellis is a lens through which the story of Ellis Island is captured and retold by the words of one immigrant. Starring Robert de Niro and featuring the visually arresting Unframed art installation, which inhabits the abandoned Ellis Island hospital complex, the short film takes you on a compelling journey through the crumbling hallways of what once stood as the gateway to America. Entwined with this unfolding narrative is a score composed by multi-talented Woodkid, performed and co-written by Nils Frahm. Whilst the delicate piano motifs of InchWinter Morning IInch culminate in a crescendo of strings, it's atop the harmonium swells on the B-side that de Niro's narration evokes the presence of those who shaped modern America so clearly. There's perhaps not been a more relevant time for this story and it's themes to be brought to life in such a special way, with all proceeds from this going towards the Sea Watch initiative, a non-profit charity dedicated to the protection and rescue of civilian refugees.
