Trance Frendz — An evening with Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm


Available on their Collaborative Works 2-CD set.
Order it here: www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP074

On the 28th of July 2015 Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm met up at Nilss Durton Studio in Berlin, and invited Alexander Schneider and his camera to document it. But instead of ending the session after the first take we continued to improvise throughout the night, ending up with several new pieces written and recorded in 8 hours with no overdubs and no edits.

Filmed and directed by Alexander Schneider and Mickael Brock for Astronaut Magazine.

Nils Frahm´s penchant for delicate, minimalistic neo-classical piano music has made him a kindred spirit to the likes of Ólafur Arnalds and Library Tapes. His most recent album is called Felt for a reason: he put felt in his piano to mute the tones because he didnt want to disturb his neighbors. Coincidentally, he really liked this sound. Every show of Frahm is a unique experience, because his playing is mostly based on improvisation.
