Era & Context

Released in 2018 at the peak of the neo-classical movement's mainstream visibility, All Melody represented Frahm's leap from intimate piano to grand-scale sonic architecture. Built in his purpose-designed Funkhaus studio in Berlin, it embodied a broader cultural trend of analog revival and craftsmanship as resistance to algorithmic music production.
