Why we love

Spaces

Spaces feels like following something mysterious and irresistible into the unknown, only to discover that what we were searching for was already with us.

Recorded across two years of live performances, the album captures Nils Frahm moving between intimate piano, expansive keyboards and electronics with extraordinary range. In his hands, the keys seem less like an instrument than a language. At times he speaks in whispers; elsewhere, the music rises into an exhilarating call to wake up, pay attention and embrace everything.

For us, Spaces can be transformational. Its depth creates room for forgotten dreams and suppressed ambitions to surface, confronting us with desire while somehow loosening our attachment to it. The journey can leave you wanting to make, explore and live more fully—and, paradoxically, content with the realization that perhaps we already have everything we need.

It is music that creates exactly what its title promises: space to remember, space to let go, and space to become more awake to what is already here.

Nils Frahm

Nils Frahm is a German composer, pianist and producer known for expanding the possibilities of the keyboard. Moving fluidly between classical piano, analog synthesizers, electronics and improvisation, he creates music that can shift from extraordinary intimacy to overwhelming scale. Frahm’s work is equally concerned with sound and space—how an instrument resonates in a room, how a listener inhabits it, and how the act of listening can become an experience in itself.
