Some Days Are Better Than Others

To mark this year’s 88th day and as an acknowledgement to these unprecedented circumstances we find ourselves in, Piano Day founder, pianist and producer Nils Frahm releases a collection of eight solo piano pieces titled 'Empty'.

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 Benoit 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 its poignant minute of silence, 'Empty' is a comforting score for these turbulent times.

“When I came back from the hospital with a broken thumb and listened to the recordings, I felt they were unfinished. I decided to put them aside and started to work on my small album, 'Screws'. 

Many many other notes of the piano have been struck since these days, and before we all forget about this, I thought it would be a good moment to share these lullabies with you. I hope they help you stay all strong and calm in these days of solitude – despite the hardship, we can discover introspection and reflection unexpectedly. Who knows what it is good for.  
 
Much love, Nils”

Nils Frahm - No Step On Wing

A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of hosting a delicate, slightly melancholy, and a splendidly pure solo piano piece from a Dutch composer Mink Steekelenburg, who released a single, titled Clearing on Waterway Records as Winterdagen. It seems that he is back with another four-track EP, this time for 1631 Recordings, featuring additional collaborators, including Maarten Vos on the modular synth to add further textures to his sound. The title track, "Phase In" is a serene meditation on sound and space, gently capturing the quiet noises of the piano, allowing the melody to bathe in the warm tones of the analogue machine. Side note: if you've seen some of my personal updates on Instagram and FB, you know that I have recently plunged into the world of modular myself. A perfect time to learn it, right? The point I want to make is that this is precisely the type of sound that I am striving for in my explorations, which is why I'm happy to premiere yet another piece from Winterdagen.
