Recorded one and a half years after his magnum opus, 'Music For Animals' - described by PopMatters as “a musical waterfall of monumental proportions” - Nils Frahm shares its accompanying live album.
In what’s becoming a tradition, it follows 2013’s 'Spaces', a Pitchfork Album of the Year taped at shows over the preceding 18 months, and 2020’s 'Tripping With Nils Frahm', also released as a film. The latter, arriving in the wake of 2019’s 'All Melody' and its 2020 companion, 'All Encores', was recorded during shows in Berlin’s grandiose Funkhaus Saal 1, once the largest studio in the former GDR’s radio complex.
Frahm’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 2024’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'.
