Nils Frahm - Screws (2012)




/Modern classical, Piano music, Minimal, Post-classical/

Comment: Screws was recorded while Berlin, Germany based musician Nils Frahm was recovering from a thumb injury. The album includes volatile chord progressions and restrained motive developments played on the piano. Indeed, those motives spawned over there used to surface and then meander over lone landscapes and then disappear into nothing. It can say that Frahm´s goal is not to reach some goal in a direct sense but just to move on and provide moody impulses and moments. On the other side, the album`s sense can be considered a successful equilibrium between silence and sound.

Ólafur Arnalds - Found Songs (2009)




9.0

/Post-classical, Modern classical, Chamber music, Minimal, Mood music, Alternative/

Comment: Ólafur Arnalds is a 26-year-old musical luminary from Iceland whose soundscape can be described as "post-classical". More concretely, these 7 tracks (the set will be ended up at 20.27) takes either on lonely but doleful piano chords or are accompanied by manipulated orchestrations and austere noises and creepy cadences at the backdrop. Emotionally Arnalds´ soundscape is suggestive and touching full of monochromatic feels and half-shades. The seeds and whiffs of wintry, nordic freshness are represented everywhere on this issue.
