Nils Frahm
Screws
nils frahm's highly anticipated new recordings follow an unfortunate accident which saw him fall from his bunk bed located directly above his studio which resulted in a broken thumb but through inspiration from his fans and despite the 4 screws that had just been surgically placed inside his thumb he started recording with 9 fingers which later resulted in 9 intimate piano recordings nils chose his 30th birthday to offer these recordings as a free download to his fans via screws durtonstudiocom where they have been freely available since in his own words 'i am sitting in front of a sheet of paper my right hand is bending over my left thumb the first day i got out of my cast i could bend it by 15 now i am already at 50 and that makes me happy things are going uphill as you can imagine it is really bad news for a pianist when he gets diagnosed with a broken thumb that day i was sitting in the emergency room feeling rather dizzy while thinking of a zillion shows coming up and all the people involved around it i realised in that moment how busy things have become it is hard to turn down interesting projects and opportunities since i surely love my work it actually never felt like work playing piano and playing it for wonderful people is the greatest joy i can imagine'
