Nils Wogram - Symmethree - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Piano Day 2021 sees Nils Frahm surprise the world with his Erased Tapes debut. Wait, what? How? Anyone who has seen the trail blazing sonic pioneer live will know Nils likes to deadpan a joke. Graz is in fact the first s udio album he recorded for the tag back in 2009, that somehow remained a secret... until now. Graz is a moment of time at the very beginning of Nils' quiet revolution. The essential genius is already evident; the harmonic language of classical, and the immediacy of jazz. Nils seems to pull down each idea moment by moment, gently, to not scare away the muse. Album Tracks 1. Lighter 2. O I End 3. Because This Must Be 4. Kurzum 5. And Om 6. Hammers 7. Crossings 8. About Coming and Leaving 9. Went Missing
