Nils Frahm Plays John Cage’s 4:33 and the Web Goes Mental

Nils Frahm is one of the most creative and talented pianists of our time – No doubt about it. but when he posted his version of John Cage‘s 4:33 a few days ago the internet went berserk with critique.
“this is the most ridiculous insult to John Cage I have ever seen.” one guy says.
Another comment:I  read people saying “this is an insult to john cage” etc. I think you all are an insult to him saying that… this is the good thing of covers, not repeating the same identical “song”, but giving to it the impression you feel.

Fram himself says:”This rework could be considered a joke. I sat at the piano in silence and worked from there. I listened and took in the atmosphere and this is what came out of it. Of course, it doesn’t do Cage justice, but it was more fun playing rather than sitting in silence.” – Nils Frahm

Der Reiseführer der Zukunft – University Project

This one in German: Ein Reiseführer, der eigentlich keiner ist: Anstatt wie traditionelle Reiseführer durch die Stadt zu führen, gibt DSCVR Inspiration, sich zu verlieren. Der Reiseführer der Zukunft  wirft Fragen auf, motiviert zur kulturellen Interaktion und regt zur Reflexion des Erlebten an. Auf 156 Seiten und mit über 50 Impulsen und Stadtexperimenten inspiriert DSCVR zur Exploration – sowohl von unbekannten Orten und überraschenden Begegnungen, als auch von Gelassenheit und Muße auf Reisen. Und das Beste: Er ist für jede Stadt der Welt.DSCVR_0-1024x748 DSCVR_Buchruecken_2

Das Projekt ist im Rahmen meines Masterstudiums an der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste im Departement Design entstanden und soll nun in einer ersten Auflage das Licht der Welt erblicken. Mit Hilfe von Reisenden weltweit – von Kapstadt über Tel Aviv bis nach Tokio – habe ich ein Sammelsurium an Impulsen, Experimenten und Reflexionen entwickelt, das die Mechanismen des Reisens neu denkt.
