After releasing his critically acclaimed album Spaces in late 2013, and a completely sold out North American Tour in spring, Nils Frahm will return for the autumn run of his Spaces Tour with a special gift to his fans: an exclusive stream of album track 'Said And Done'.

'Touring the US again? I hope my folks at home wont get jelous but it is just starting to become some serious fun! Expect me to return with more crazy ideas about how to wreck an old New York Steinway and more tips: how to manage travelling UNITED AIRLINES. There will be more half broken tape delays, overclocked synths and hopefully I can score another silly drum computer. I am very much looking forward! Plus, if you want me back, I am coming. See you soon!' – Nils Frahm

His feverish playing is so stimulating that it's slightly nerve-wracking' – Pitchfork

'If you've ever caught Nils Frahm live, you can attest to what a powerful experience it can be' – Exclaim!

'It’s a powerfully moving experience watching him create all manner of sounds with his fingertips' – KEXP

'He had the audience laughing, at the point of tears and ultimately on their feet with a standing ovation' – Resident Advisor

“No click tracks, no headphones, and no film. Just the spontaneity of performance and the sound of musicians hearing, connecting and responding.” 

‘Entanglement’, the debut album by Michael Price fulfils his long-term desire to explore new musical territories, featuring Michael on the piano, with the addition of cello, soprano voice, string orchestra, modular synth, tape effects and electronics.

Throughout the record you will hear street sounds from 'Budapest' captured and processed on Michael’s mobile phone, as well as chamber music recorded direct to tape with vintage microphones in single takes. Album track ‘The Attachment’ was partly recorded onto a 1940s magnetic disc recorder, which immediately connected the piece back to a pre-digital musical age.

The cello and soprano vocal parts throughout the album were written specifically and directly for cellist Peter Gregson and vocalist Ashley Knight, whose expressive voice features on tracks ‘Maitri‘ and ‘The Uncertainly Principle‘. The lyrics for both songs are Japanese poetry sung in English, dealing with age, loss and the inevitable fading of beauty.

‘Entanglement’ was written over a period of two years on paper and by hand with Michael exploring oldest and newest technology at Abbey Road Studios and Snap Studios in London, before most of the recording and mixing took place at Vox-Ton in Berlin.

“I wanted to make an album that sounded like a dark, Berlin record store discovery from the 30s. Something that had timeless emotive power, and pre-digital rawness. Something that I hope would make a deeper connection in superficially networked times. I think there is a duty for artists to be honest, and vulnerable. Because then there is a possibility of real connection. Entanglement is both honest and vulnerable and to go through the two year process of writing, refining and recording an album has been more intense and more beautiful than I could have possibly imagined.

Entanglement is a very personal expression of my obsessions: music, love, physics and the inter-connectedness of things. There is structure and freedom, chaos and control, and the beauty of ancient instruments set against impassive machines." – Michael Price

ABOUT THE ARTWORK: Resembling the inter-connecting parts, the cover art for ‘Entanglement’ was created by South London artist Supermundane, with the packaging’s layout done by long-term Erased Tapes-collaborator Torsten Posselt at FELD in Berlin.

I 
didn't wanna do this.
I
know its something I could never defend.
When it comes to blood, the rules change.
When it comes to war and love, the blood is the same.
I
didn't wanna do this.
Marked with a curse, noose around my neck.
The view above spectators, waiting for me to break my neck.
To watch my nerves, be my final movement as I squirm.
Its all ok, I am just paying for what I earned.


When we first met, I used to make you laugh.
You raised the stakes, for a lover to stay.
You said I was the sun.
When we had our final fight, you said I ruined
the only meaningful thing you found in your life.
You meant I was the one
You said you never told anyone.
It's what you meant when I said I was the sun.
I didn't know what that meant then I was too young.
Too young.... to hold on...
I learned in my destruction 
Either way, I could not be the one. 
The savior... with love another one. 
If you are not giving all you can.
If you're not the one and they're not the one.
Learning to be alone is learning to love...
someone. 
Its seems now a days, its the most forgotten,
if you are not someone, you are not going to find the one.
Because first you have to be the one.

The Only One

I've survived enough...we've survived enough, why must we endure?
A simple answer: Until the world is pure.

Survivor (Perhaps One Day - Orchestra Version)

This is the adagio sostenuto first movement of Beethoven's famous Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor Op. 27 no. 2.

This track was recorded and uploaded on Sunday 17 February 2013, on a weekend of intense sadness. Thanks to your support, it was featured in the Explore Classical set. Thank you for clicking on the 'like' button and reposting, and for taking the time to comment on the track.
