About:

I had a dream one night that I met Nils Frahm, an extremely talented pianist and very kind person, and gave him a pair of socks. Each sock had a kind message embroidered along its length, and this idea captured my mind. So before going to see Nils perform in Portland, OR, I composed three remixes of songs from his lovely album 'Screws,' recorded them directly to 1/8" cassette tape, and put the cassette in a box with a pair of socks.

These are the songs that were on the tape.

No computers were used when creating these remixes - a computer was only used to digitize the tracks after they had been recorded.

Piano sounds by Nils Frahm.
Glockenspiel sounds and tape manipulation/remixing/mangling/looping by Ruhe.

Tracklist:

1. Never Stop Creating (Si Remixed) (4:11)
2. Never Give Up (Sol Remixed) (4:26)
3. Socks For Nils (You Remixed) (3:34)
