Frieder Nagel - Distract Robots '2019

Tracks list

Frieder Nagel invites his listeners to get lost in a universe that spans from
euphoric to devastating excitement. He is known for managing projects in venues
ranging from theatres to clubs, for concerts to audio-visual experiments -
working with artists like David August, La Boum Fatale and Daniel Brandt (Brandt
Brauer Frick). The first time he appeared on stage, in 2016 at Berlins infamous
Radialsystem V, armed with several synthesizers, effects, drum machines, one
grand piano; and backed by the German Symphony Orchestra (DSO). This critically
acclaimed debut was streamed by Boiler Room later and led to further
collaborations with Philharmonie Essen or his ensemble show at Reeperbahn
Festival.

Now finally Nagel ́s first solo work “Distract Robots” will be
released by French label InFiné. This 12 has become an album in miniature
with a final polish by mastering guru Zino Mikorey – known for his work
for Nils Frahm ́s All Melody. This EP offers up a mystical world, full of
warm synths and detailed sound clusters morphing into each other to form utterly
dark and dystopian ballads. Nagel gets lost in obsessively endless sessions with
his instruments. He isolates himself and spends night after night drifting away
from reality. The result is that his tracks carry moments of utterly deep relief
and deliverance, as well as despairing sadness and stoical escapism.
