A collection of nine reworks crafted by fans and selected by Nils himself form the ‘Screws Reworked’ re-issue, also featuring his original ‘Screws’
The 2012 album ‘Screws’ by Nils Frahm, was the result of inspiration
from his fans and friends while he recovered from an unfortunate accident, which
saw him fall from his bunk bed
located directly above his studio, which resulted in a broken thumb. These nine
intimate recordings were offered to fans to download for free and in return fans
thanked Nils by sending him their audio and visual reinterpretations.
Fascinated by the results, Nils then publicly asked his fans to submit their reworks or any form of art that was inspired by the release and all these submissions have been collected since on a dedicated website. It gave birth to the ‘Screws Reworked’ project from which Nils selected nine reworks to feature on a special edition re-issue which also includes his original ‘Screws’.
American composer Keith Kenniff, better known as Helios, Bug Lover from Hamburg und French artist Fred Yaddaden are amongst Nils’s final selection, housed in an inner sleeve carrying a visual rework created by Bertrand Sallé.
