Nils Frahm - Canton /

Nils Frahm – Canton

Okay, I finally listened to the new album by one of my all-time favorites, Nils Frahm—and one composition in particular caught my attention: Canton. I decided to perform it.

In general, Nils seems to be getting more and more minimalistic with each release. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad—but this piece? Canton is about as minimal as it gets. There’s literally nowhere else to go from here... :)

*“Canton” is the closing track on Nils Frahm’s 2025 EP Night, released on May 9 via LEITER. The piece exemplifies Frahm’s signature fusion of ambient textures and minimalist piano, offering a meditative soundscape that invites deep introspection.

It was recorded on the Klavins M450—a towering 4.5-meter upright piano located in Frahm’s Berlin studio at the Funkhaus complex—highlighting the instrument’s immense tonal richness and depth.

Night serves as a companion to Frahm’s 2024 solo piano album Day, with both releases available together in the special Night & Day CD edition. This pairing reflects the duality in Frahm’s work—contrasting the still, reflective nature of Day with the expansive and textural ambience of Night.
