Jan Wagner Shares Transfixing Video From New Album
'Nummern' is out next month on Klangbad and Quiet Love Records.
Jan Wagner‘s latest album, Nummern, will drop via Klangbad and Quiet Love Records on October 26.
Recorded as a series of sonic diary entries between the spring of 2016 and December of the same year, Nummern is a meditative eight-track collection of achingly beautiful prepared piano pieces. What began as simply Jan playing and recording as “a way to blow off tension” eventually morphed into the Nummern long-player following a meeting with producer James Varghese, who helped finalize the album by adding tense arpeggio lines, warm sub-bass, and swirling synths to accompany the delicate piano passages. Even though Nummern is a personal record, Jan left out any allusion to personal narratives “to allow the listener to have a very pure, unmediated and personal experience of the music.”
With the LP announcement, Jan has shared a transfixing film for album cut “Number B,” available to stream via the player below.
