Nils Frahm has been working at a breathless pace following the release of his first album of piano instrumentals, 2005's Streichelfisch. Since then, the virtuosic German keyboardist and composer has released an impressive body of work that melds the world of modern electronic music with the quiet grandeur of classical. As his career has moved forward, Frahm has embraced the possibilities of technology, adding more ambient textures and drones into his work, as well as finding willing collaborators such as F.S. Blumm, Ólafur Arnalds and Machinefabriek.
