Nils Frahm and Peter Broderick to release collaboration
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 1 December 2011
German composer Nils Oliver Frahm and multi-instrumentalist Peter Ray Broderick, aka Oliveray, are to release a collection of eight tracks together entitled ‘Wonders’, on 12 Dec. Having met through their shared label, Erased Tapes, the duo first worked together to record a cover version of ‘Harmonics’, a song by Broderick’s some-time collaborators Efterklang. From then on, says Broderick, the partnership came about quite organically.
He tells CMU: “We were both really happy and inspired with how easy and fun this process was. Without much preconception we just set up the mics and started recording. We ran through a few fresh musical ideas that each of us had, improvising along with each other, sometimes just improvising entirely. The first official output of what will hopefully be a lifelong collaboration”.
Elsewhere in Peter Broderick type goings on, he’s all set to release new record ‘http://www.itstartshear.com’ (yes, really), the full-length follow-up to his acclaimed Bella Union debut, ‘Home’, on 20 Feb. Produced by none other than Frahm, Broderick designed its title as a “link” back to those things – album art, sleeve notes, and lyrics, for instance – that can often be lost or forgotten when downloading music the digital way.
