Nils Frahm - Spaces (2013) [Hi-Res]

Silence is a malnourished, underused element in music. You could say that silence is the most natural kind of music around. ‘Spaces’ is well aware of her power, something that is made even more interesting given its live status; the album consists solely of live recordings that have been taken over the last two years. It can be just as effective as a note; it’s all about the space, and the feeling inside the space. It isn’t just a gap or a sizable gulf in the sound, but the tip of a chasm where the listener is sometimes left to hang.
