Tripping with Nils Frahm

Tyler Quiring This live album is a miracle. I think #2 might be the kinkiest track I've ever heard. It tops me mercilessly and I can't help but come back for more. Favorite track: #2.

mistergontaszewski I have to admit. I'm addicted to Nils and his work. His music dictates how I feel, what I feel and who I am. There is few more artists but not many.

anancastic Unobvious sounds precisely woven like an intricate lace make it impossible to tear yourself away from this tale...

Tripping With Nils Frahm - Blu-ray
DVD
One of the world’s most sought-after live acts in picture and sound: ‘Tripping with Nils Frahm’ captures a moment of Nils' two-year ‘All Melody’ tour in 2018/2019, documenting his performances at Funkhaus Berlin's legendary Saal 1.⁠ The concert film was produced by LEITER in association with Plan B Entertainment. The film premiered in December 2020, and is now ranking in the top 25 most viewed movies on MUBI and among the highest-rated films, as voted by the viewers.

The Blu-ray disc comes in a cardboard slipcase with a 44-page photo booklet, designed by Studio Torsten Posselt. Exclusively available here and at Nils' upcoming live shows.

"The film is simultaneously intimate and grand, with shaky hand-held close-ups capturing the delicate moments of Frahm's performances..." (DJ Mag)⁠

"Watching him at work, and hearing the audience react, is little like watching an athlete at the top of his game." (LA Times) ... more

about

A 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.

When 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. Yet the stunning setting of Funkhaus Berlin, renowned for its vintage grandeur and outstanding acoustics, and also home to Frahm’s magnificent studio where All Melody was recorded, had occupied a unique place in the artist's heart.

In December 2018, Nils Frahm eventually returned to Funkhaus Berlin to host another set of four shows, tickets sold out within hours. Frahm’s friend and film director Benoit Toulemonde — a collaborator since 2011 — captured the concerts on film, only using handheld cameras, and employing techniques he had mastered for the famous concert series La Blogotèque, which featured some of the world’s most popular artists.

Tripping with Nils Frahm is an illustration of Nils’s lauded ability as a composer and passionate live artist as well as the enchanting atmosphere of his captivating, and already legendary Funkhaus shows: An extraordinary musical trip – rare and exclusive, close and intimate, bringing a unique concert experience to the screen.

"It was about time to document my concerts in picture and sound, trying to freeze a moment of this period where my team and I were nomads, using any method of travel to play yet another show the next day. Maybe tonight is the night where everything works out perfectly and things fall into place? Normally things go wrong with concerts, but by combining our favorite moments of four performances, we were able to achieve what I was trying to do in these two years of touring: getting it right!

When you hear the applause on the end of the film you should know that I was smiling happily, being a tad proud and feeling blessed to share these moments with you.

Much love, Nils"

Tripping with Nils Frahm — the live album is out on Erased Tapes from December 3.

The concert film with the same name is produced by Leiter in association with Plan B Entertainment and will premiere the same day via the curated online cinema MUBI.

about

Nils Frahm Berlin, Germany

Berlin-based contemporary composer Nils Frahm has built a steady reputation for his intimate, poignant piano recordings, yet they so far only showed a fragment of what to expect from a Nils Frahm concert. Frahm’s heart lies in improvisation, in the magic of a moment where, inspired by the space and the audience, his fingers can create new compositions loosely based around his familiar melodies ... more
