Classically schooled ensemble reinterprets Radiohead - approved by Nils Frahm
In ā16, AB asked Brusselsā classically schooled ensemble Echo Collective to make Radioheadās āAmnesiacāĀ (from ā01) ā the little brother of troublemaker āKid Aā ā sound like it was a classical masterpiece. By means of a concert residence in ABĀ Salon, the audience could see and hear the evolution of āThe shaping of ā¦ā at close proximity. In the meantime, they have now triumphed at AB festivals like BRDCST (in the company of Hauschka) and the FeeĆ«rieĆ«n. But Nils Frahm also fell for them too, and invited them to perform soon in the prestigious Philharmonie de Paris.
To top it all off, Berlin label K7!Ā (see, amongst others:Ā theĀ artist curated seriesĀ LateNightTales with the likes of Nils Frahm, The Cinematic Orchestra, BadBadNotGood, Jon Hopkins,...) has wooed them into releasing all this finery on an album. The moving result can be heard in its entirety on this night.
