Sand Whirling from Oceanic by Niklas Paschburg

Niklas Paschburg has just released a new single ‘Sand Whirling’ from his debut album ‘Oceanic’, out on 9 February on the new imprint 7K!.Niklas also announces new live dates in Europe as WhoMadeWho’s support act. On the track, Niklas says: “I created ‘Sand Whirling’ while looking out of the window of the house I was staying in, in Burgerberbach on the coast of the Baltic Sea. There was an empty beach ahead of me and I kept imagining two ballet dancers whirling up the sand with their movements”.

To compose and record the album ‘Oceanic’ Paschburg decamped to the Baltic Sea. The story is intriguing: he spent as much time as possible on the coast throughout the past year, taking in the mood, breathing in the sea breeze, listening to the constant flow of the waves and transposing it all into music.

This period was a defining experience for the young German composer, grown up as a pianist and then attracted by the so-called “neo-classical scene”, listening to Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, Hauschka and other peers. Yet he comments, “for my first record I really wanted to make something different, something between piano, classical and electronic music, but also with some pop flavours incorporated - not in harmonies, but in the songs’ structure”.
