The single is accompanied by two additional versions: a shorter, more condensed radio edit, and a beatless ambient version that brings the meticulously crafted sound design to the forefront.<\/p>\n<p>Nagel and Brandt first met in 2019, when Nagel directed Brandt\u2019s music video <em>Flamingo<\/em> for\u00a0Erased Tapes. A year later, they collaborated on a dance opera with Japanese choreographer\u00a0Fukiko Takase\u00a0at Uferstudios Berlin, which premiered at the Gluck Festspiele. <em>Who Knows<\/em> finally captures on tape the unique creative chemistry that sparks whenever the two artists meet.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Frieder Nagel - Who Knows (feat.

Daniel is literally just back from touring Asia \u2014 he\u2019s constantly on the move with his band, his solo project, or his work as a producer and director in London. Drums are, in a way, extroverted \u2014 expressive and primarily rhythmic. I, on the other hand, live a much calmer life in the woods, focusing on introspective works like audiovisual sound art, installations, or score production, where melody and synthesis take the lead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is precisely this contrast that makes <em>Who Knows<\/em> so captivating:\u00a0Nagel\u2019s calm, melodic sensibility colliding with Brandt\u2019s impulsive, almost restless energy.
