Om Nils Frahm

Nils Frahm blev tidligt introduceret til musikken og lærte at spille klaver tidligt i sin barndom. Det var herigennem, at Nils begyndte at fordybe sig i stilarterne hos klassiske pianister fra tidligere generationer såvel som musikken fra nutidige komponister, før han skabte sin egen musikalske vej gennem komposition.

I dag begår Nils Frahm sig som komponist, producer og performer med sit imponerende studie i det berømte Funkhaus i Berlin som udgangspunkt for sit arbejde. Hans ukonventionelle tilgang til et ældgammelt instrument, spillet kontemplativt og intimt, har vundet ham mange fans over hele verden. Nils har opnået global berømmelse for sin højtudviklede sans for kontrol og tilbageholdenhed i sit arbejde, såvel som et betagende niveau af følelser og personlighed.

Om 'Musik til Danmark'

Nils Frahm gæster København i forbindelse med et residency under titlen ’Musik til Danmark’ arrangeret og præsenteret af smash!bang!pow! og VEGA. I fællesskab med danske kunstnere og med inspiration fra Danmark vil Nils Frahm skabe en forbindelse mellem sin neo-klassiske, ambiente og elektroniske musik og de danske omgivelser.

Det særlige ophold i Danmark vil udover tre koncerter i VEGA 19.4 + 20.4 + 21.4 også byde på bl.a. en udstilling i Ideal Bar (18.4-21.4) akkompagneret af Nils Frahms værker i immersiv lyd, samt artist talken på RMC.

About Nils Frahm
