Tiff (Doc McKinney remix)

Dan Snaith is my hero.  Seriously though, I feel like every Caribou record has affected me in a different way, and inspired a different type of creativity out of me.  

Anyways, here's my remix of Sun, a song that is roughly four years old.  The band hosted a remix contest back when it was released, and I actually got the stems and submitted a remix with an older project (sadly, it didn't win).  But the song, and the whole record really, are still unbound by time, and with the announcement of the new Caribou record, I thought it could be a fun project to revisit the song.

That new Caribou record is coming out in October, and there's a big tour to go along with it.  So make sure you you go to http://caribou.fm to stay up to date. 

Thanks Dan (and the band), for always shifting sounds and always pushing things in a new, exciting direction. 

Xoxo,
Jamison.

ABOUT:

Nils Frahm has always said that he’s just waiting for something real special when being asked if he would ever score the music for a film. And that’s exactly what German director Sebastian Schipper presented to him with his one-take feature ‘Victoria’. Filmed in Berlin, Victoria’s plot sees a runaway party girl, who's asked by three friendly men to join them as they hit the town, but their wild night of partying suddenly turns into a bank robbery as the music changes from techno to subdued piano sounds.

For the recording session at Studio P4 in Berlin, Frahm enlisted the help of long-time collaborator and cellist Anne Müller, violist Viktor Orri Árnason and ambient artist Erik K. Skodvin of Deaf Center on guitar.

‘Victoria’ won the Berlinale Film Festival prize for Best Cinematography and has also received seven nominations including Best Soundtrack for the Deutscher Filmpreis – Germany’s highest movie award, and will be released in cinemas across Germany on June 11th with plans to release it in the UK and other countries soon.

"A child playing at the beach, throwing a stick in the air, interrupted by gloomy visuals that could be taken from an early Buñuel movie. Then water, a sailboat, finally the boardwalk of Nizza in black and white. Curious eyes of pedestrians watching you and following you as you move slowly down the crowded promenade, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry. What are you doing here? Do you belong here? Back to the beach. Images of children playing, fighting, running. Echoes of an allegedly happy, distant past in face of an uncertain future.“

FEAR TALK was recorded and produced by Marvin Horsch (Woman, Keshavara)at Gotteswegstudio, Cologne. It was mixed by Marius Bubat (Coma) and Jan-Philipp Janzen (Von Spar, Cologne Tape) and mastered by Robin Schmidt. Additional vocals by Tiana Wagner and Franziska Kusche. Artwork by Düsseldorf-based artist Peter Vincent Causemann. Fear Talk is released on Asmara Records and distributed by Rough Trade.

Airhead - South Congress

September 20th marks the 30th birthday of Berlin pianist Nils Frahm, but also the day he has chosen to give his fans a special gift in the form of 9 songs he recorded with 9 fingers, entitled 'Screws'.

Nils experienced an unfortunate accident which saw him fall from his bunk bed located directly above his studio, which resulted in a broken thumb. But through inspiration from his fans and after a gentle walk and talk through the park with a close friend, he decided to deal with the situation in the only way he knew – playing his piano.

With four screws surgically placed inside his thumb, he started recording with his remaining 9 fingers, what later resulted in 9 intimate piano recordings.

Fans can download 'Screws' as mp3s or in full 24-bit 44.100 kHz audio quality here (http://screws.durtonstudio.com), and pre-order a Vinyl/CD edition from the Erased Tapes online store (http://erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP046), which will be released later this year.

'I am sitting in front of a sheet of paper. My right hand is bending over my left thumb. The first day I got out of my cast I could bend it by 15°. Now I am already at 50° and that makes me happy. Things are going uphill...

As you can imagine, it is really bad news for a pianist when he gets diagnosed with a broken thumb. That day I was sitting in the emergency room, feeling rather dizzy while thinking of a zillion shows coming up and all the people involved around it. I realised in that moment how busy things have become. It is hard to turn down interesting projects and opportunities, since I surely love my work. It actually never felt like work. Playing piano and playing it for wonderful people is the greatest joy I can imagine.

For a couple of days I felt like this all could be over. How pathetic. But hey – also feeling sorry for yourself has its place somewhere. All of a sudden I had so much time, an unexpected holiday. I cancelled most of my schedule and found myself being a little bored. Even though my doctor told me not to touch a piano for a while, I just couldn't resist. I started playing a silent song with 4 fingers on my left and the remaining 5 on my right hand. I set up one microphone and recorded another tune every other night before falling asleep.

The day I got rid of my cast I had recorded 9 little tunes. They have helped me feel less annoyed about my accident and reminded me that any good is something I can only achieve, when I am making the most out of what I've got.

Thank you all for listening!

With lots of love,

Nils
