I'm late to the party ;)! My favourite part is that I know you guys and only realized it when we were already down to our shortlist and I started looking into people's music! Thank you so much for this beautiful rework, I love the sound of the instruments, particulary the cello and how it works itself, gnaws itself into you ear! I want to name it "Tenacious C"!!! I love it... and I hope you'll play it live (when we are allowed to do so again :()!

When Frieder Nagel got the invite to use a part of the city park Nuremberg for an installation, he teamed up with light artist Stephan Scheiderer "to make music livable again“: When park goers passed by an old, majestic plane tree, it automatically sprung to life (thanks to some complicated motion sensors installed and hidden by the two) - and the first soft notes of „Calm Territory“ beckoned people to stop and spend some time by this historic tree.

All tracks written, produced & mixed by Frieder Nagel.
mastered by @a_b_d_a_b_d Adam Badí Donoval (Bratislava, Slovakia)

Calm Territory is part of Sonido Blanco, an audiovisual work of art by Frieder Nagel (music) & Stephan Scheiderer (lighting designer). This installation was presented during Lost & Found, an art circuit in Nuremberg, Germany in 2020. Played on a combination of prepared pianos including Klavins Una Corda.

The Arrival

Calm Territory

My solo piano album “Recollections Vol. 1” is out on all platforms. Kind of a weird feeling. Something I really focused on in this album was simplicity. It’s never about how many notes you can play. Never. It’s not how fast you can play either. Ever. It’s about the intentionality and passion in which you play. For me at least. The greatest musicians in my opinion play and live with these thoughts in mind. I really believe two different pianists can sit down at the same piano and play the exact same note, but it sound extremely different from one player to the next. It’s in the touch, the feel, the speed, the present-ness, the willingness to slow down, it’s the heart in it. It’s wild to think that a mere Middle C on the piano can sound in a thousand different ways. So you’ll see in this album, I tried to be brave enough to not fill up each song with more notes and more chords. I wanted to give each song space and not clutter them with attempts to try and impress everyone. That’s a huge temptation that I don’t think we talk about enough. In a few of the songs I actually only stay on one chord. I love to explore how much I can get out of only a few notes. I’m not trying to be the greatest piano player in this album or trying to be the best musician. I wanted to document what I’ve learned over the years of being a musician and a person. It’s not the best, but it represents me: where I’ve been and where I’m going.
