Where "For" and "Peter" together form Juno.

"Toilet Brushes" has no separate release; it is often combined with "More" in live shows.
In this piece, Nils uses literal Toilet Brushes to directly operate the Strings of his (grand) piano, instead of using the keys.

I am convinced that this man is one of the greatest geniuses alive today.

He made this masterpiece when he was 30. If that does not count as a genius I don't know what. I'm 35 and still looking for a path to life.

I was about to say he is just a genius, but you described him better 😄

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.

Alexandre Parent

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.

Just when I think 11:28 is magnificent, 12:16 comes along and blows it out of the water. Absolutely spine tingling!

Diachron

Yes, and 14:36 releases it into the wind and he returns. Spine-tingling indeed.

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.

Fraser Courts

Don’t forget 12:50! All spine-tingling.

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.

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.

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.

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.👍

The struggles in life hinder us sometimes to follow our passions! Never give up. If cleaning toilets means that you can pursue your passion or dream, then toilet cleaning it is, until you make it or find other ways to make it. Best of luck to you!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Marco Gorocica

Mike Holland

3y↑10

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.

Humayun Qureshi

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.."

Mario Drechsler

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.

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
