The summer of memories has gone

While arranging a night of music in Montreal in 2009, composer Nico Muhly wondered: “Who do I know who can write music who's amazing and is Canadian and can come keep me company way up there?” The answer was Richard Reed Parry, composer and multi-instrumentalist for Bell Orchestre and Arcade Fire. In response, Richard presented to Nico For Heart, Breath and Orchestra, a piece that required musicians to play in sync with their own cardiac rhythm while following Richard’s scored notation.  

Richard gradually realised this idea more over the years. In 2014, it became his first solo work, Music for Heart and Breath, on which Nico played piano according to the same rules Richard had originally devised. 

Because of their shared history, the two composers’ conversation for Erased Tapes quickly becomes retrospective, but in a way that’s constructive not regressive. Instead, they’re searching for the drives and desires behind their old ways of working – a sort of archeological dig into the 00s when composers were becoming braver in crossing genre boundaries. In doing so, Richard Parry reflects on covering Aphex Twin with Bell Orchestre on As Seen Through Windows, and how doing so with a neoclassical ensemble was “mindblowing at the time”.   

They also talk about how artists like Aphex Twin and Björk’s Vespertine influenced radical shifts in the two composers’ understanding of how to communicate space, shape and a kind of versatile maximalism through sound, and the way they share this with us is rich in visual metaphors. 

Nico and Richard’s original meeting also marked Parry’s release of As Seen Through Windows with Bell Orchestre, which Erased Tapes reissued in 2023. The two friends begin their conversation by discussing this work, with Nico probing into the spaces in which it was created and its “specificity of thought”.

iMac G4（大福）に内蔵されているマイクの性能を試した痕跡です。
意外と良い音で録れててびっくり。昔からアップルはスピーカーやマイクなど音周りに良いパーツ使ってましたね。
ナイロンギターでお気に入りのコード進行を弾き、アコーディオンをアドリブで少し弾いてみました。もう少し練ったらちゃんと曲になりそうな雰囲気。

マリオRPG神ゲーだったなあ。弟にセーブデータ消されて喧嘩したなあ。そして報復として弟のセーブデータも消そうとしたけどギリギリ思いとどまって、アイテムや武器を全て店で売却してあげて許しました。我ながら優しいお兄ちゃんだ、、(?)

甘い贅沢 / MEG【GUMIカバー】

Nils Frahm thrives on working in short bursts, fitting creative moments in between touring. Much of his work is created in a matter of days, preserving the sentiment behind them and his original intentions. 

While this approach served him well throughout his musical life, All Melody arose from a much longer period of gestation. Building his own studio and then working in it over several months was a “luxury” that he felt wouldn’t make his music stronger, but rather, give him space to ask some unanswered questions. What he discovers is an expansive sound, fusing alien synths with resonant, earthy tones – it’s sombre and melancholy but deeply soothing.

Only a few days after finishing All Melody, Nils held transatlantic playback and interview sessions, meaning the album was still raw and fresh to all involved. These sessions quickly become emotionally charged, but also result in playful, philosophical conversation. 

Nils was not afraid to jump into challenging topics: the difference between “real” vs digital orchestration, how art can help you to slow down, how All Melody was inspired by the ambition of 70s albums and why focusing on creating a suite is more important to him than making viral tracks.

Here are some extracts from three of these sessions: Nils talks about building his Berlin studio in conversation with Mary Anne Hobbs at the Erased Tapes Sound Gallery in East London, composition and design with WNYC host John Schäfer at the Oswald Mill Audio showroom in Brooklyn, and youthful ambition at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La studio in Malibu.
