Biography From His Facebook Site:
Nils Frahm, born in 1982, had an early introduction to music. During his childhood he was taught to play piano by Nahum Brodski — a student of the last scholar of Tschaikowski. It was through this that Nils began to immerse himself in the styles of the classical pianists before him as well as contemporary composers. Today Nils Frahm works as an accomplished composer and producer in Berlin. In 2008 he founded Durton Studio, where he has worked with Deaf Center from Norway, L.A. composer Dustin O’ Halloran and Portland’s Peter Broderick amongst other fellow musicians.

I’m sitting out quietly
On the front verandah
With the setting sun, the dusky pink orange
Feeling the love vibrating in every single particle of air
In the crickets hum, in the birdsong
In the rustle of breeze pulsing thru my veins,
My blood,
Changing my body structure
Subtle.
Mark Neale directs this prolonged conversation with William Gibson (famed science-fiction novelist and creator of the term “cyberspace”) from the back of Gibson’s limousine as they take a cross-country odyssey over nameless highways going no place in particular. The cameras roll as Gibson talks about his own personal philosophies, experiences, and opinions about the media-saturated culture in which we live. The conversation provides a compelling glimpse at the radical, genius writer whose 1984 novel NEUROMANCER forever changed the concept of the Internet, propelling the author to the forefront of the media explosion of the late 20th Century. Neale, a music video director, employs hyper speed editing and jarring visuals that combines various media images with excerpts of Gibson’s novels, conveying a conceptual journey through the unchartered territory of William Gibson’s mind. This slick and stylish visual trip also features interviews with writers Jack Womack and Bruce Sterling, readings from U2′s Bono and The Edge, and music from Tomandandy.
