Hailed by critics of classical music as well as amateurs of electronic experiences, Nils Frahm’s talent has managed to get everyone to agree for the last ten years. Whether he plays on a church organ or a synthesiser fitted with effect pedals, the German pianist is always looking forward, and that’s what makes him so appealing. Photo © Leiter Verlag

Erased Tapes, a Not-so-classic Label

by Smaël Bouaici, translated by Edward Maltby

Since its birth in 2007, Erased Tapes has made a name for itself as one of the most innovative labels of the last 15 years and enjoyed great commercial success. Although some fail to see past its neoclassical shopfront (Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds), the London-based label explores the outer limits of ambient, electronica and experimental with a catalogue that's smoothly curated by the German Robert Raths. Qobuz takes a closer look.

70s legends return to life
In the mid-2010s, Erased Tapes wrong-footed fans again by recruiting the 1970s experimentalists Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Lubomyr Melnyk. A multifaceted group led by the (classically-trained) guitarist Simon Jeffes, Penguin Cafe Orchestra released its first album in 1976, Music from the Penguin Cafe, produced by Brian Eno and inspired by the works of Terry Riley and Philip Glass, that mixed pop, classical and electronic... and which were described in their day as "neoclassical"! After Simon Jeffes passed away, his son Arthur took up the torch in 2011, dropping the "Orchestra" from the name, but keeping the same passion for cross-pollination. Erased Tapes first brought out The Imperfect Sea and Umbrella (featuring Japanese guitarist Cornelius) in 2017, and then the very successful Handfuls of Night‎ in 2019.

Lubomyr Melnyk, 71 years old, is a world record holder for speed piano playing (19.5 notes per second) and the pioneer of something called "continuous music". Attending a Melnyk concert is a mystical experience: the Ukrainian-born musician composes as he plays, building vast structures within a formidable harmonic maelstrom. "My whole body is transformed as I play, it honestly feels like that. My fingers feel like the winds of the world; it feels like you’re physically transcending dimensions," explains the pianist, whom Robert Raths discovered on MySpace in 2007. "I couldn't contact him,” explained Rath. “All he had on his page was a photo of a guy who looked like a wizard and some totally crazy piano pieces."

In the end, he found him at a festival in Cologne, where Nils Frahm and Peter Broderick were booked to play. Lubomyr Melnyk himself came to talk to the duo after their show. That was how Corollaries, the pianist's first album for Erased Tapes came about. Released in 2013, it was recorded and produced by Peter Broderick with the help of Nils Frahm and Martyn Heyne. "He’s been doing this music for 35 years and we came in at the tail end," Raths says. "We had presented this finished record and he said ‘Where were you when I was 30?’ People need to understand that he was making music to have enough food to survive, academics would not pay him attention. All we could do was show him it doesn’t have to be like that." Erased Tapes would bring out two other albums from Lubomyr Melnyk, Rivers and Streams in 2015 and Fallen Trees in 2018. Melnyk would also headline the label's ten-year anniversary concerts, held in the prestigious Royal Festival Hall in London's Southbank Centre. A just reward for a genius so long overlooked.

Melnyk is a perfect symbol of the concept that has driven Erased Tapes from its outset: instrumental music that takes the road less travelled, but which perfectly captures emotion, and inspires introspection. Few labels hit the mark so well. Or touch so deeply.
