In what’s becoming a tradition, it follows 2013’s \u003cem\u003eSpaces\u003c\/em\u003e, a Pitchfork Album of the Year taped at shows over the preceding 18 months, and 2020’s \u003cem\u003eTripping With Nils Frahm\u003c\/em\u003e, also released as a film. The latter, arriving in the wake of 2019’s \u003cem\u003eAll Melody\u003c\/em\u003e and its 2020 companion, \u003cem\u003eAll Encores\u003c\/em\u003e, was recorded during shows in Berlin’s grandiose Funkhaus Saal 1, once the largest studio in the former GDR’s radio complex. \u003cem\u003eParis\u003c\/em\u003e, nonetheless, is Frahm’s first live album from a single night, March 21, 2024, and contains ten tracks over a running time of 84 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrahm’s performances have always been known for expanding upon his studio recordings, and Paris is no exception. Drawing on his substantial catalogue, the German composer and producer reworks tracks from Music For Animals (‘Right Right Right’ and ‘Briefly’) before less recent material from 2009’s The Bells (‘Some’, also included on 2015’s Solo), and 2012’s Screws (‘Re’, originally recorded with just nine fingers after Frahm broke a thumb). There’s also ‘Spells’ from All Encores and ‘You Name It’ from this year’s solo piano album, Day, while the brand new, luxurious and strangely gripping ‘Opera’ sets the stage for ‘On The Roof’ from his heart-rending, award-winning score for 2015’s widely acclaimed, one-camera, one-take German thriller, Victoria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving first come to prominence with delicate vignettes for piano, Frahm’s instrumental range has expanded to include a mountain of vintage synths and keyboard instruments. These include a custom-made organ as well as the final glass harmonica constructed by Gerhard Finkenbeiner, a master glassblower who, in the 1980s, resurrected the instrument – first invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1761 – and then died in 1999 in mysterious, still unresolved circumstances. Frahm’s grasp of dynamics and tension has likewise expanded, and not only does he reinvigorate his work during concerts for this wider range of possibilities, but he also keeps developing it as he tours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf he leaves the stage to the same uproarious jubilation with which he was initially greeted, \u003cem\u003eParis\u003c\/em\u003e makes it clear why he’s been so in demand. He’s been booked, frequently for multiple nights, at halls around the world, including Sydney’s Opera House, London’s Barbican and LA’s Orpheum Theatre. Indeed, the LA Times wrote of Tripping With Nils Frahm, “Watching him at work, and hearing the audience react, is a little like watching an athlete at the top of his game.” Expect nothing less from Nils Frahm on Paris, a vital document of this ingenious, gifted musician’s endless pursuit of fresh perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LEITER","offers":[{"title":"2LP","offer_id":54941066854786,"sku":"DHR-03052","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2800\/5583\/files\/0d43c249371a41b2c09c60600b2c870e.jpg?v=1755783235"},{"product_id":"nils-frahm-tripping-with","title":"Nils Frahm  -  Tripping With","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: 07\/05\/21\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA legendary artist at a legendary location: Tripping with Nils Frahm captures one of the world's most sought-after live acts performing at one of Berlin's most iconic buildings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen Nils Frahm kicked off his world tour at Funkhaus Berlin in January 2018 to bring his highly acclaimed studio album All Melody to the stage, an ambitious journey was just to begin: Over the next two years, Frahm played more than 180 sold-out performances, including the Sydney Opera House, LA's Disney Hall, the Barbican in London, Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie, and several big festival stages around the globe.
