“What I love most about playing in front of people has something to do with a certain kind of energy exchange. The attention and appreciation of my audience feeds back into my playing. It really seems as if there is a true and equal give and take between performer and listener, making me aware of how much I depend on my audience.

Every space I performed in has its own magic and spirit.” PeopleIfsGivingKindDifferentSeemsSpiritNightCertainEnergySpaceAttentionAudienceMagicFrontsDependsEqualMusic IsAppreciationPerformersEvery NightListenersGive And TakeBeing Played Author:Nils Frahm
