Fans of the Berlin based Nils Frahm are by now familiar with his beguiling live shows where more often than not fellow touring artists are encouraged to join Frahm on stage – the likes of Rachel Grimes, Rob Lowe of Balmorhea as well as label colleagues Peter Broderick and Ólafur Arnalds have all obliged with fascinating results. It will come as no surprise then that Nils Frahm, an accomplished composer and producer who signed to Erased Tapes in 2009, has extended his collaborative live musings to encompass the recording studio, working for the first time with noted cellist and fellow Berliner Anne Müller to produce 7fingers. 

With their first collective release Frahm and Müller have built a world where modern classical and electronica collide creating an ‘intoxicating and delicious’ collection of songs. Primarily a pianist Nils Frahm provides evidence with 7fingers that he can effortlessly turn electric throwing in loops, samples and glitches to accompany and showcase Müller on cello. Anne Müller, a renowned musician noted for her work with the Wolf-Ferrari-Ensemble, Phillip Boa and recent tours with Agnes Obel, proves an amp musical partner for Frahm. 

As the recognition continues to grow for Nils Frahm’s previous solo piano works Wintermusik and The Bells, 2011 sees a new side to this young talent as he embarks on a detour into strings, symphonies and glitch beats alongside the estimable Anne Müller.

Simply The Breast

Fishlights es el proyecto solista de Fernando Heftye, productor mexicano e integrante de The Plastics Revolution.

"Fractales", su primer sencillo, habla de un mundo paralelo donde el espacio y el mar se mezclan, un lugar donde fuegos artificiales estallan dentro de lagunas abandonadas mientras naves espaciales navegan el océano en busca de vida nueva.

El disco debut de Fishlights saldrá a principios del 2013 como un lanzamiento de Dos Pelícanos.

Fishlights is the solo project of Fernando Heftye, Mexican producer and synth player in indie pop band The Plastics Revolution.

"Fractales", his first single, relates to a parallel world where space and sea coexist, a place where fireworks explode inside abandoned lagoons while spaceships navigate the oceans in search of new life.

Fishlights' debut album will be out on early 2013 as a Dos Pelícanos release.

Its Cold in My House

This track is a part from the contemporary ballett piece i worked on with the amazing choreographer Wayne McGregor. It's heavy, but we all like the occasional heavy track, right? 
I released my soundtrack to the piece as an EP, called Dyad 1909 (2009)
