Hello. I am a Japanese writer. However, I cannot live by the work of a writer alone. That's why I've been working part-time as a cleaner for many years. I've cleaned a lot of different toilets so far. Sometimes I have to clean the dirty toilets quickly by myself in a limited amount of time. In the future, your "toilet brushes" will support my heart in such a situation. Thank you.👍
He should definitely clean off the toilet brushes he uses
Smacked away at many a piano
But, also! Your advice is great.
Keep those brushes mf CLEANN
@@MotherSmuckers Thanks for your comment, that will also support my hear, when I work part- time as a cleaner for dirty toilet. 👏👍
おお、日本人がいて嬉しい。
I hope one day you become a famous writer and the historians of the future find your yt comment for your bio info
@@reneerisin5719 thank you so much🥰From now on, I will remember you in my hard times.
I may not know much about playing piano but I keep coming back to this video for nearly 10 years now.
It shivers everytime as it would be the first time
Same
I come back to this now and then to reset. To me, this is probably one of the greatest pieces of music I've listened to
I am convinced that this man is one of the greatest geniuses alive today.

I must agree
i agree 100%
but, you might like tony anderson - immanuel :)
Me too
don't forget me too...
New Old Genius : MULL of OA...
Seen in a secretly gigs : amazing...
I saw him live in 2023. I saw this. A dream come true. I privilege to witness a master at work. A privilege.
I was at this concert! At the beginning, we didn't know he was even in the room. It was a surprise when he started playing the organ upstairs. He played on it for a few minutes, then made the last note sustain, ran downstairs to where he is in the video and carried on playing from the same note. Seeing this guy live is like being on a date. I only realise how great his performance and little touches are when I see these videos, though. SEE HIM LIVE.
Woah, that's surely a must-see. I envy you so much. c':
Jack McCarthy That is absolutely true. I heard him first on the radio, got his name, checked him on RUclips and immediately decided to see him live. Well, it's been 2 live performences already and as you say, it's like being on a date. I literally stopped breathing at the end of More, trying to remember every overwhelming second of it. Yes, SEE HIM LIVE!
I have the privilege to see him live at 17 February ! Can't Wait ...
mrJillesOom where are you gonna see him ?
mrJillesOom In Eindhoven !! Wilde ook naar Nijmegen maar zag toen dat hij ook in Eindhoven komt. Dat is mijn thuis. Dus ik ben helemaal blij !!
Inhuman. Shamanic. I was lucky to see him live in 2019 in Budapest. Literally, like an ancient mystic. No words.
I was here for this! Best thing I’ve seen live. It was a spectacular performance!
“Shamanic” is a word that seldom applies, but in this case it is SPOT ON.
I saw him around the same time in Dallas TX of all places. It was my favorite concert ever despite the fact that I've been to 100's of different shows.
I came here as sugar and I left it as caramel.
It's like he creates this monster, and the monster nearly gets free.
Thats an awesome way to interpret it but to me it doesn't feel like a monster more like a waltz with something supernatural.
talltim10 Man, I’m 100% quoting you every time I need to explain to someone about what kind of musician Nils Frahm is.
Precise
This is the best explanation I have ever heard.
That's exactly what its like! Perfect description.
I've heard people wonder why these days we don't have anyone like Bach, Beethoven and composers like that. Here you go. Nils Frahm is exactly that and will be remembered as such.
No. No he won’t. Nils music is great, but let’s not get carried away. Don’t get me wrong, I guarantee you I’m enjoying this at least as much as you are. I’ve been a fan of Nils for a while now and I’m on about playback #11 in a row on this video, but I’m afraid Mr. Frahm’s music only rises to the level of excellent current film score music. Very much in the vein of say Hans Zimmer, who I love also. I think HZ has a much greater time resistant body of work than NF, but in 100 years next no one will know who Hans Zimmer is, much less Nils.
The works and accomplishments of time tested masters such as Bach, Beethoven and Mozart are truly beyond belief and will live on for more hundreds of years.
@@bretthutcheson5710 I disagree. As times change , dynamics change as well as complexities.
@@bretthutcheson5710 Next to nobody will remember e.g. Edward Witten when people will still celebrate Einstein as though he was the be-all-end-all of physics which he very clearly wasn't. Who is remembered has less to do with actual merit than with tradition.
As the biggest NF fan, this is completely insane to think. Bach is still hailed by composers today, 273 years after his death, and his body of work is absolutely inhuman in scale as well as diversity and complexity. None of this can be said for Nils.
@@maximlamoureux4129I completely agree
I saw him live in montreal 4 years ago... It is still, to this day, my greatest musical experience at a live show and I've seen a lot of artist live (Radiohead, sigur ros, Muse, Coldplay, Beach House, Tame Impala, Olafur Arnalds DeafHeaven, Converge)... The full version of this song (for-peter-toilet brush-more) got me in tears of pure bliss. I've never felt this overwhelmed by pure joy during a live show. I remember just crying and crying, lost in a cloud of pure euphoria.
I get the same feelings watching this video. I can't imagine seeing his whole concert live. I have to, at least once in my life.
I feel ya, brother!
,
Try Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians. I saw the piece live not too long ago and it was pure bliss too.
He played this in SF and I was in tears, my coworkers didnt realize how much I cared about Nils and .. well yeah..
He jumps off a cliff and opens the parachute just before he enters the cave between the ground, and then gets rid of his parachute just to dive deeper; only to realise he was in space all along...
he literally killed everyone with this one..
holy crap so fucking intense..
I'am actually jealous of people who were there..
I imagine Nils Frahm teaching piano lessons for toddlers, being like: "ok, today we are going to learn Mary Had A Little Lamb but before we begin let me show you something first.."
lol
Before he begins:
Nils: "let me show you how to foreplay it to make it orgasmic"
Toddlers: "what?"
Nils:" what?"
For me watching this is always like watching it for the first time.
He's hammering on the piano strings... with a toilet brush.... and I thought I had seen everything.
This is my favourite version of this song/songs. They're all great, but this one's somehow more raw, almost punk rock and angry at the end. One of the best things on the entire RUclips platform.
Who else is listening to this on repeat while stuck at home during the corona quarantine/social distancing?
I thank assassins creed for putting me onto this guy, still revisit this song 5 years later
Not "Stuck: per say, but yeah.. Chilling
I'm still here
still on social distancing :-/
@@MrCantaui and still looping this video!!!
Seen this video several times, seen him live in Brussels three times, this track is an incredible experience. Master piece definitely, genius of our time absolutely.
Nils is the inverted form of classic artism. First he destroys something, then he makes it beautiful and then he destroys it again just to bring it to final beauty. Besides Thom Yorke the most gifted artist alive!
hear hear
Music doesn't get better than this. No way. This is it chief.
I saw Nils in concert, just this last week. Between Says and this, it has to be one of the most powerful encores i ever experienced. The only word I can used to describe what I experienced is that it was transcendental. Someone here described him as shamanistic, and I think that is a great description. But beyond this, he's a real humble guy. All that talent, and he's just happy and thankful we came to hear him play. What a legend.
12 mins on... kind of makes you hold your breath doesn't it? Incredible.
Josef Cross Exactly my fav part! I can imagine some chase scene over it.
Josef Cross Brings me out in goosebumps. You're right, incredible. His talent is off the scale, for me.
+Josef Cross Yes, there is a taste of what is to come at 11:30 then at 12:15 we get main course....wonderful stuff.
The thing is, it wouldn't be as good without the 12 minutes of buildup that don't even feel like 12 minutes. Incredible piece this live performance.
and all what comes before is a long preparation for it. without this, the end would not have been possible
This song freaking LEAKS of passion, man. I love it so much. The amount of emotion is just insane.
Grample Gust totally agree
that profile picture tho
i think it's leak unless you are referring to the vegetable "leek". I definitely agree with comment
Arielle Aplin-Siegel Thank god for editing.
comes from sommer deep, like the TOILET.
Grample Gust, 100% agree with you!!! 👍👍😎😎😎
his ability to control and weave rhythms is insane, truly mesmerising
I'll never forgot the first time i watched this.
Ben Stanbridge Yeah, me too. I just sat there and thought "how's that even possible?". He looks insane, a little bit like a psychopath :D
@Nina K. I know the feeling. His recent album Empty gave me a similar journey. 35 minutes went in an instant, but also left me with feeling I had been away for days. Incredible artist.
That ending. There are no words.
fakt toto je koniec ...
ce dernier acte au piano est un des trucs de ouf les plus incroyables que j aie jamais entendu (pourtant avec mouse on the keys que je viens de decouvrir y a de quoi faire), extraordinaire, tous les poils debout, me retrouve comme un con plein d amour et de melancolie a chaque ecoute. merci, ne change rien mec.
:)
To me, this has been the best live music video on RUclips since it was released.
Every time I try to stop listening to this I think: Let's only listen that last part as of minute 10 and then close youtube. Then I close my eyes for a second and before I know it's already over and decide to do the same thing again.
I'm not kidding, I'm already doing this for more then half an hour and I don''t know when it's going te stop. Someone help me please.
i agree the last 4 minutes is the most spectacular, on another level completely. but you should listen to the full thing each time, progressive music like this builds up specifically for this purpose, to trick yourself into making the good parts sound better in comparison.. :P
+Edgar Pifflewiff Yes you're right about that and I do listen to the whole part (Just like now). But it's at the time that I think, 'Ok I'm going to close YT now, Well ok I'll just repeat that last part, it's only a few minutes'. And then I got that situation as I discribed it in my comment.
He's such a good musician, that he'll play synth sounds manually, note by note.
It's like being able to take pictures with a camera, but being so talented at drawing that you'll just draw the thing. Or like having a car, but running step by step.
Thank you, this comparision is very helpful for people that doesn't know about music
The very best piano piece I've ever heard starts at 09:30. It doesn't get any better than this.
This piece has gotten me through half of law school. I think roughly 1,000 of those views are mine.
Half of medical school here
This song and album got me through writing my first screenplay. :)
Oh and good choice on law school. I loved law, but I never really pictured myself making a career of it.
aw man! First year law student here. Inspired by your comment.
This song gets me through anxiety
I've listened to this about 1000k times, yet it still is just as astounding as the first time hearing it.
Xx
Facts bro
Just when I think 11:28 is magnificent, 12:16 comes along and blows it out of the water. Absolutely spine tingling!
I am watching these exact parts nearly every month. Its beyond what i can express in english or in any other language for that matter. No one will ever achieve what Nils is doing currently on a piano. The composing is breathtaking and how to he presents them to the public is... just awesome.
1128 c est l apogée ! J adore aussi. Ce titre au concert de Montreux est encore mieux .. je pense
Don’t forget 12:50! All spine-tingling.
Inspired comment Lauren S. That teaser at 11:28 is phenomenal and then when he brings it back in at 12:16 it’s almost too much.
opens up so delicate and warm
There is absolutely no way to miss a single note whilst playing the piano by perfection without being an absolute god-tier genius.
The fact that this was live on a stage, with an appreciating audience encouraged me to start my own piano career.
I hope I can be this good one day...
Nils, Thank you so much for your beautiful music and inspiring many people!
DANKE aus der Niederlände!
It goes deep into my soul.
How are you getting on with the piano? 🎹
This dude is going to be remembered.
I love when music makes me feel something I've never felt before, sensing it with a certain strangeness.
Mesmerizing.
Ro Sousa bro exactly
mad scientist in his laboratory, making alchemy and magic happen!!!
I love it too, he is incredibly as a pianist and composer! Big inspiration for me. Please take look at my works, if you like such a music :) best regards
Alcheny *AND* Magick ?? The 2 do not make good bedfellows...
My friend introduced me to this. As a piano player, I am stunned. I have new and exciting style to study!! This is truly a gift
i actually think its not a style you can study 🤷♀
He accomplishes this with the assistance of looping multiple layers with one another that he’s composed.
@@CROMULENTAF Which is essentially what the Berlin school of electronic music has been doing with synth sequencing - Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Ian Boddy and the like. Except he does it manually.
From 12:00 to the end, it feels like you can hear so many different melodies gathered into one masterpiece, full of emotion and of sincerity! To me, this piece is a beautiful gift.
I think it's the echo effect he uses, the echoed notes play along the new notes he's playing to form totally different melodies every time, it's beautiful.
This is a sculpture of the transcendence that most humans are capable of. What a magnificent work!
So mental. So flowing. So passionate. So nostalgic. So intensive !
What a masterpiece Nils. You're a musical genius. Loved the video too.
I thought Keith Jarret and Phillip Glass where my safe room of music introspection, until this simple master of sound came into my life, now there is no turning back... found it by pure chance and no one ever told me he had landed.. ; )
THIS.GETS.BETTER.AND.BETTER.EVERY.SINGLE.TIME
Nils Frahm is a Legend
He is. Big inspiration for me since many years. Please take look at my works, if you like such a music :) best regards
9:20 That crazy climb ending with a note with delay, where he is walking over to the piano and continue playing another incredible riff in the same key AND completely in time with the delay. Bravo Nils!
Stunning! Rare to see a live video performance where the filming captures the atmosphere of the performance and is treated as a work of art in it's own right. If this was on DVD I would buy it.
+Charlie Payton i would too
it is now: Tripping with Nils Frahm
I was at the Klaus Schulze concert in Wrocław (Poland) in 1983 and THIS performance has the same kind of magic...
I like how the song descends into madness
I love it too, Nils is a great musician! Please take look at my works, if you like such a music :) best regards
It does
I'd say "Ascends into madness" - No??
@@leeMartin33 Trancends into madness*
he nils it every time
You cheeky little bastard! XD
JESUS
At minute 14:00 the passion he emits into his music can be felt through the screen, amazing.
Brandon Luco This is when I flip out :D
Goosebumps
it was hard to listen to at first, it as so dense, after a second time I can't stop listening to it
Ask Nils to play a song at your party and he'll reply, "I'm going to need a spork, a can of hairspray and a mango...".
He's the MacGyver of the music world.
The Mac Gyver of the music world....hell yeah!!!!
And some toilet brushes. Definitely toilet brushes! New ones ideally.
na man, he needs *wet* sounds (google it).
He can't just use new ones q:
jk
but I am a sound producer lmao
"I've made songs with less"
So fucking brilliant. Humanity at its best.
I’ve never seen anyone use their whole body to play the piano. Amazing!
I can only imagine what this looks like written down.
Just saw him live last night in Norwich and he ended with this! Words can't describe how good he was, my housemate said she was brought to tears
I love it too, he is incredibly as a pianist and composer! Big inspiration for me. Please take look at my works, if you like such a music :) best regards
So true…
accidentally found this...and I am amazed! Just wow, unique!
Why are you looking up Toilet Brushes on RUclips?
To see people play the piano with one of course!
Well, I could've looked up any of the key words in the title or the description, that including 'live in London' or erasedtapes oor it could've been a yt recommendation. But yeah, you guessed it right, looking up people punching the piano with toilet brushes is my favourite free time activity..
no need to be defensive toilet brushes are cool yo
Goosebumps after goosebumps!! This is the most glorious, wonderful, euphoric, magical piece of artistry any angel could ever dream of. This is beyond human - this is eternal beauty!
Sounds wonderful in ear. The cense lovely. Peace. Read Happiness. Together now.
Amazing, how he uses the tape echo at the start, and really battles it at the end. This track has the same energy and wild- and crazy-ness as a van Gogh painting. Enormous, thank you for playing Nils, and thank you erasedtapes for uploading this (hoping utube will not erase this tape).
Very cool association with Van Gogh's paintings!
The whole track is a 4 bar tape echo?
Nils on piano = 3 pianists on piano !!!!!!!!!!
it's digital delay and loop sequences, not taking nothing away from this guy like, just though would let you know this is how he gets it to sound like 3 pianos, love this guys talent. ;0)
+Tommy Lloyd can you explain in more detail?
The delay effect basically makes one note repeat or echo itself at a softer volume a few times after it was played on the keyboard. An effect pedal or effects processor can achieve this and can be adjusted to fit different timing in a song. So, each note he is playing is being repeated at intervals that coincide with what is being played a few measures ahead. May not be the best explanation, but having used the effect on a lot of things, that's my best explanation. This song is almost more percussion than anything, considering how much the timing plays a role.
Well, Analog piano is percussive(stringed percussive to be precise)
I can't describe how great this makes me feel.....
I like to think this is the kind of music Mozart would be making were he alive today. But also, the camerawork in this video is superb.
Genius. Eargasms.
This man is absolutly crazy. Love it.
One of the best things we have ever seen on RUclips!
Seeing things feels like I lived. This track sounds like the feeling. Maybe all of them in the time it takes. Good for you. I mean it with love and life.
Who else is still watching this in 2019? I always play this song whilst I'm on a run since the BPM matches my pace, whenever I want to give in and stop running I think of how Nils' arms must be feeling as he's coming into the final crescendo, and don't let myself quit. This song has therefore literally been the reason I've put on a fair bit of muscle mass over the last year!!
4 years later, MORE MUSCLE GAINS STAT BROTHERRR
@@tiko4621 😂😂
15 min einfach nur zuhören. toll wie er seine Gefühle in den Bassläufen untermalt.
As a musician you hear lots of different styles of music, so many beats, riffs and patterns going through your head every day, there are only a small hand full of songs especially in a world dominated by monotonous pop songs that give you that feeling of the hair standing on end when that certain chorus kicks in or when the melody suddenly gets deeper, this is most definitely one of those songs.
I want to feel what he's feeling while he's playing his music.
play an instrument! Dance!
saw him live yesterday, this was his last song. it was so amazing and emotional. days like that is what makes life worth living. this man creating worlds and universes with his music
I like to imagine Beethoven, Bach and Peterson sitting together in a car stuck on the M65 in a jam listening to the radio when this comes on and their jaws hitting the floor in unison.
I always think one day I will be able to finish hearing this music without sobbing... I don't know what happens, it's always stronger than me.
Same
An artist can make something beautiful out of anyway, even a toilet brush.
This is fresh air for music.
I've never encountered a song that could make me feel so blue and sentimental but beautiful. Memories of unfulfilled, sad love come to mind like a running lantern. It's hard to find such a wonderful music, such an emotional song like this. I am so glad you made this song.
one of the greatest solo live performances ever, and one of the best 15 mins of your life you'll experience!
I felt like I had stared into his soul for 15 minutes, but realized I had been staring into my own! Love him, trust him. He is a painkiller.
It's like acoustic djent. Absolutely outstanding.
никогда не ставил лайки.... протер слёзы, и поставил, впервые. Гениально же.
First comment I've made on RUclips, beautifully brilliant. Wave after wave.......
Love it so much.. all coming from the heart.. worthy of a sainthood for what he gives to us all..god bless him. Sorry but it reminds me of Jesus riding a donkey into the worst conflict on earth.. knowing he’d be crucified.. but still believing and hoping.. this music carries all my hopes along with it xxxx
Absolute genius. There's something very natural about this song. Stream of conscious music patiently building until it finally comes into focus at the climax of the song. It sounds like the music version of a flower blooming.
i really like the flower analogy
No doubt : This man is one of the greatest geniuses alive today. ;-)
since 2 years i'm always comin back to this specific performance. thank you nils, thank you camera & sound team. one of the best live perfomances i've ever seen.
I was fortunate enough to see him play this live at the Sydney Opera House in 2019; it was the final show of his long tour. To say it was mesmerising is an understatement. Just, wow.
Amazing
agree! Please take look at my works, if you like such a music :)
Absolutely outstanding. I'm litteraly lost for words. Here's hoping to seeing him live one day.
This is awesome. A friend of mine gave me the tip to hear Nils Frahm. And all these old Queen lovers like me will have noticed the good old Brighton Rock theme of Brian May in a free interpretation from 7:23 on. Brian May was, I think, one of the first who used these echo technics. Of course absolutely suitable for a concert in London.
Mesmerising and enthralling with a lush tingling feeling flowing through the hair follicle with every gush of one's breadth. Truly an artist of our times.
I remember I got to see him perform this piece at Prague, in 2015 or 16, and after the performance was over there was an autograph signing session, and I didnt have anything to have his signature on, luckily my plastic phone back cover was white. Wish I did a better job preserving it, but at least for a few years i was carrying a part of this genius all around with me. Thanks Nils
Tja was soll ich sagen??
Deutsche Top-Qualität...
Einfach der Oberhammer!!!!!!!!!
this man's piano skills are truly unbelievable lol
still completely and utterly mesmerizing, transcending, insane.
Quite the amazing performance - some people have such inspirational talent.
this is the single best live performance I've ever seen in my life
Thank you for saying something that wasn't yeas ago!
Greatest video of all times anyone?
WWaaoouuuuwwww!!, ..... So So So great and So So So GOOD ENERGY!!, ..... Absolutely fan of this genius artist and man!!, .... And so fond of is sounds and tunes!!, .....
