Franny Griffiths

Francis Griffiths (born 1 July 1966, Liverpool, England) is a keyboardist, producer and remixer, best known as a member of the band Space. He also plays guitar, melodica and piano. His main influences are Kraftwerk, hip-hop, Can, various electro bands such as The Prodigy and Crass. He is both a dance music fan and enjoyer of heavy rock bands such as Marilyn Manson.

The strange noises produced by Griffiths' piano (contrary to rumours, he does not use a Theremin) are one of the trademarks of Space's sound. Griffiths has performed lead vocals on only one Space track – "I Am Unlike A Lifeform You've Ever Met", a B-side on the "Avenging Angels" single. However, on the first two Space albums, Spiders and Tin Planet, as well as the B-sides of various singles, he has contributed instrumental tracks, and remixes under the moniker Franny Aspirin.
