Nils Frahm

Good morning.

Today we’re listening to Nils Frahm, a German pianist and composer. This is our fourth time featuring Frahm.¹ Frahm’s latest album, Music for Animals, came out this past Friday. It has 10 longform ambient meditations inspired by the natural world. “It’s good we have symphonies and music where there’s a development,” Frahm said, contextualizing the record, “but a waterfall doesn’t need an Act 1, 2, 3, then an outcome, and nor do the leaves on a tree in a storm.”² As we said the first time, we particular enjoy Frahm’s music because it creates what this newsletter is always after, an atmosphere of profundity.
