nils frahm performance a potent overload of sight and sound

Friday, October 12, Niles Frum Hammer Hall, Melbourne arts center★★★★Niles Frum, who previously referred to playing music as his religion, had a hint of reverence from a huge crowd during his first Melbourne show 2014.
Before the 36-year-old Frum, the Hammer Hall was full of obvious expectations. year-

He sat with a smile on one of a dozen keyboards, twisting his fingers and starting to play the first song from his recent albums.
These different keyboards sit between a powerful hybrid amplifier, equalizer, and hybrid table used by Frum to create his electronic and more traditional classical sounds. State-of-the-
Art music equipment is crowded with pieces that may be part of the art device, but each piece does have practical uses.
Frum tells us how a friend helped one of his many electronic instruments to create a new organ sound a few years ago, but the result sounds more like pampis,

As he left, many moved forward in order to better understand the array of devices on stage.
In fact, it is a night of indulging the senses, the overload of vision and sound.
