Nils Oliver Frahm + Peter Ray Broderick = Oliveray.

Being musical companions and label mates for years, it was just a matter of time until modern contemporaries Peter Broderick and Nils Frahm would start their first standalone project together.

Oliveray was born in their shared home city of Berlin and will see its debut release Wonders – a nice little collection of eight musical pieces – available on Vinyl/Digital via Erased Tapes and on CD via Japanese friends Cote Labo from December 12th, 2011.


Say hello to Oliveray!
Blog post by Peter Broderick:

I am super excited to announce the debut release from a project very dear to me!
Oliveray consists of me, Peter Ray Broderick, and one of my greatest friends in the world, the incredible musician / producer Nils Oliver Frahm. We’ve been collaborating in many ways these past couple years and traveling a lot together. Now finally we have arrived with our first truly 50/50 collaboration effort entitled Wonders.
It all started when I was asked to create a cover version for my great friends Efterklang. I asked Nils if he’d like to work with me on the project. So one day we got together in his studio and ran through the song (Harmonics) a couple times and then laid it down to tape in the most relaxed way possible – me playing the guitar and singing and him on the piano… We were both really happy and inspired with how easy and fun this process was. We thought you could hear and feel that relaxed atmosphere in the song.
So when our Japanese friends Cote Labo asked us to prepare some kind of release for our Japan tour, me and Nils set aside a couple days to record some music in a similar manner. Without much preconception we just set up the mics and started recording, with an aim to create a short album of half instrumentals, half vocal-based songs. We ran through a few fresh musical ideas that each of us had, improvising along with each other, sometimes just improvising entirely. And before we new it we had a nice little collection of eight intimate pieces of music.
The first official output of what will hopefully be a lifelong collaboration, Wonders feels really special to me. Here comes Oliveray!

On Night Sky Hutchings is subtly playful within the direct and emotive candor of her style, making for an open and surprising journey throughout.  Night Sky reveals Hutchings' compositional style, flowering with more instrumentation and bolder intent. Balancing the beautiful fragility in her work with a deeper sense of urgency creates a striking charge to Night Sky -- a compelling pulse that also encompasses a lightness of touch in parts, making for an album of many shades set within Hutchings' beguiling vision. The rarefied atmosphere of Night Sky confirms Hutchings' standalone presence in the realm of modern composition.

When I first heard Re, it put a huge smile on my face. I was fascinated by the delicate honesty in the recording. Sometimes one great idea can trigger many streams of thought - this was such a derivative, and I've worked to preserve the fragility of the original, while letting the electric guitar have a nice conversation with Nils's piano. Hope you enjoy it, and have as much fun as I had working on it - Sridhar

Lyrics:

We, we are empty
We are empty

It's the same design
should've been 'cause of a reason
He spent his time
to search and find a solution

How could it be?
How could it be?

He stood aside
never got into the meaning
He gave his life
but never tried in believing

How could it be?
How could it be?
We, we are empty
We are empty

MTNS - Lost Track Of Time

Compared with the likes of Max Richter, Dustin O'halloran, Nils Frahm and other like minded composers, Hutching's has prompted much critical praise worldwide, with MOJO Magazine declaring her work as ‘stirring, vigorous, [and] grandly melodic”. Hutchings debut album was listed in that magazine’s Top 5 Independent releases and has continued to endure and impress since. Hutchings is subtly playful within the direct and emotive candour of her style, making for an open and surprising journey throughout. Balancing the beautiful fragility in her work with a deeper sense of urgency creates a striking charge to her performance with a compelling pulse that also encompasses a lightness of touch in parts making for many shades set within Hutchings’ beguiling vision.
Her compositions move from disarmingly spare and elegant beginnings to curl out with a tingling edge, propelling its austerity into urgent and epic realms. Violin, cello, heighten the flight these pieces can take as well as dip and swell within the more dimly lit moods of gentler nuance, casting a particular spell across the range of feeling captured in Sophie’s playing. Both unfussed and exquisite though constantly evolving....
