Experimental ivory tinkler Nils Frahm has released a surprise new album today, to celebrate Piano Day 2021.
Having founded the event back in 2015, timed to mark the 88th day of the year. Piano Day celebrates all that is good about the beloved keyboard instrument, which has been the focus of Frahm’s recording career for well over a decade.
Apparently, the new album Graz, actually dates from 2009, and was Frahm’s first for the Erased Tapes label. However, it never saw the light of day; Frahm instead decided to focus on the close-mic’d, dampened piano pieces that ended up forming the basis of 2011 album Felt.
In addition, despite having a more natural grand piano sound, Graz, is still distinctively Frahm, though more tonally conventional than some of his recorded outings.
Frahm had this to say in a press release: “Sometimes when you hear a piano, you might think it’s a conversation between a woman and a man. At the same time, it can hint at shapes of the universe and describe how a black hole looks. You can make sounds that have no relation to anything we can measure.”
Graz is available to stream now, with physical editions available from 21 May.

The Yamaha Piaggero NP-V60 is a new addition to Yamaha’s portable contemporary digital pianos and family. The new Yamaha Piaggero NP-V60 features 76-keys with Yamaha’s Graded Soft Touch (GST) keyboard, maximum 32-note Polyphony, 489 Voices; grand piano sound, organ, strings, and guitar, 361 XGlite Voices and 12 Drum/SFX Kits, including 5 Sweet and 3 Cool Voices, 160 preset Styles, Effects; Chorus, Reverb, Master EQ and Harmony/Echo.
The Yamaha Piaggero NP-V60 is able to satisfy the most discerning pianists. The Yamaha Piaggero NP-V60 does not skimp on features or, most importantly, the sound and feel of a real acoustic piano. The portable contemporary digital piano is enhanced with legendary Yamaha soft-touch keyboard to recreate a real acoustic piano, giving keys in the lower octave a heavier touch than those in the upper octaves. The Piaggero NP-V60’s seventy-six piano styles keys are also not weighted for portability. With 489 voices and 160 styles to choose from, the Piaggero NP-V60 enables pianists to craft complex songs and bring their music anywhere. You can also build songs using the 6-track sequencer and the Piaggero NP-V60 provides a wealth of realistic accompaniment for your tracks. Additionally, the Piaggero offers easy going piano fun.
The Yamaha Piaggero NP-V60 enhanced features are great for music beginners, musicians and gigging pianists. And it is an exceptionally affordable instrument. The stunningly slim and lightweight portable keyboard weight merely 13.4 lbs. and can runs on either AC adaptor or roam free with batteries (6 x AA-size batteries). I love the clarity and brilliance of Yamaha pianos and Yamaha has attain those qualities throughout their entire pianos category.
