NILS FRAHM - Improvisation (FD live acoustic session)

A session which is not really one. Nils prefered that we shot the performance he did in a flat in Dijon, in front of thirty people.
Here's the second track, 20 minutes long.
It was a nice gig, organised by the nice people at Sabotage.
And of course, last but not least, thanks to the host !

[@Axel-lp7qw]

still listening to this after 12 years

[@Johannludwigamadeus]

If you hit a wrong note, it's the next note that you play that determines if its's good or bad. Miles Davis ;)

[@MonoFlax]

Nils is the most emotional musician i have ever seen. I admire that.

[@Xavier-bk1tw]

Me too, Mono, me too. I admire Nils Frahm too.

[@StewardOfOsgiliath]

❤

[@saeglopr]

It's been 5 years since I've first listened to this. This performance of Nils coupled with its awesome live footage is magical enough that I still keep coming back to it!

[@whatsmyageagain91]

This guy is a genius, his logic of composing and improvisation is beyond this world. Maybe it sounds a bit cheesy but I am automatically interpolating music I hear when I listen to this vid on some of the parts of my life and it kinda opens up another angles of view at some situations and brings some unexpectedly good and deep thoughts. I wish I could attend his concert in future.

[@MonoFlax]

Nazar Donets i feel the same way.

[@moonface9869]

Same here buddy. You should attend one of his concerts, it's still on my bucket list!

[@r.al.8634]

What I'd give to go to an intimate Nils Frahm session like this.

[@craigstuartsmith]

+R. Alam me too, would give anything to go to any of these intimate sessions in someone's apartment you see him playing at

[@jsolco]

As pianist, as instant composer and as minimalist, when I listen to this, I feel coming home after a long journey to nowhere. Great. Inspiring. Thanks. JSolco

[@a.mie.533]

jsolco . Nice description - or is it rather the feeling of being at home AND on an endless trip through space at the same time ...? :)

[@brentmontreal997]

A Master. The fact only 280K people have seen this is both a privilege and a crime!

[@saeglopr]

Considering I've been here like 50 times your deduction is horribly wrong!:)

[@axelpuri]

perfect for a solitary winter evening with a single malt.

[@user-rt1qm9zf6l]

So try MULL of OA !

[@analogdistortion]

Or any other night

[@sarahpagent1325]

Agreed! My playlist is currently Nils Frahm, Joep Beving & Lionel Towers (this guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/boWzhaJ4q6aLo5o). The best.

[@annachatzetryphon9863]

ich finde nils frahm gut. ich mag solche relaxmusik. das leben draussen ist sowiso laut genug.

[@luciferusz]

Omg what is this ? No words ! Amasing ! Its not come from this World ! Thanks

[@chapmoss]

If you go to his site, you'll see that he muted the piano so as not to bother his neighbour (seriously), and he spent a great deal of time and effort on 'Felt' to achieve a balance between the piano strings and other sounds - the wood floor, etc. Felt sounds like there's some sort of mechanical device being played as well - like an old music box or typewriter, but it's just the nuance of the piano... amazing...

[@zsuwicka]

I almost always begin to cry, when I listen your music. Or just become sad...but its not problem, its only a part of my life.

[@miles432]

8:20 - 11:13 pure magic

[@wanyberk]

Those people are lucky to be in the same room with Nils during this performance...

[@polobede9054]

Une des plus belle chose que je n'ai jamais entendu ! et j'écoute beaucoup de musique depuis 41 ans !

[@jogijonas]

Perfect!!!! I just can not believe....

[@sashapentovmusic]

This improvisation does not sound like one, even though he messed up on one note. I saw Nils live in my little town and his performance was mesmerizing and memorable. I loved his performance so much that I bought two physical albums at the venue after the show. His album Screws has become my favorite nighttime album and soon to be my favorite overall!

[@MonsieurIgnivomo]

I want to listen this guy when he´s 80

[@elephantbaci]

C'est beau à en pleurer! Merci

[@elephantbaci]

Je repasse toujours ici régulièrement. Tout spécialement aujourd'hui après ses deux concerts à Pleyel (hier et avant hier soir). Ce moment que vous partagez avec nous ne me fait plus pleurer mais il m'émeut toujours autant ("ça" se ressert à l'intérieur 😊) 8 ans après mon précédent commentaire, toujours aussi reconnaissante. Merci

[@PlumHaandsprit]

I want to listen to this guy until he is 80.. and after that as well!

[@wolfvopo1502]

Heard years ago, this is so good, you have to stop everything else around you what is sometimes difficult but new normal may help! So intense, so clear, so obvious how real music is made - made it's kind of handcrafted to say!!! And that's important, most important over all, not handmade no soul!!!

[@sabitto1523]

💚💚💚💚Kein Sättigungsgefühl trotz jahrelanges repeaten.. Wörter können meine musikalischen Emotionen hierbei nur anhauhen und erreichen nie den Kern 💚💚💚💚

[@jayjaybax85]

This guy continues to amaze me. Can't wait to see him live in August.

[@leonhard7475]

Nils Frahm´s music is out of this world

[@Ammaridon]

He gave a birth of new form of music language.

[@stephanebernines3812]

I love this performance ;-) I love this artist... probably one of the best we have never heard before... Fantastic Nils

[@MrThor34]

The part around min 10:00 when all strings flow together is beyond awesome

[@smtabatabaie]

8:20 just made me cry

[@SergeMarzin]

Nils Frahm est un enchanteur, d'un simple toucher, il touche à l'essentiel de l'âme humaine. Un son aérien qui crée en moi l'émotion. Je le qualifie tout comme je le fais d' Arvo Part de génie de la composition musicale. Bravissimo

[@yvetteseyer3272]

I just love Nils Frahm

[@makyo1974]

this piano sounds f******** goooooooooood!

[@annachatzetryphon9863]

finde ich auch

[@FDsessions]

Thanks, i like too my mix :)

[@Cass44]

Genius, absolutely emotional

[@Sarmadness]

This brings so many emotions to life. Fantastic.

[@SelfHealingGod]

+InterstellarHD I can't agree more with you..

[@lumity238]

COVID 19 brought me here... You are Amazing and Talented... Thankyou

[@PianOwned]

I was introduced to Nils Frahm by friends who have seen him live, and I think his improvisation here is truly amazing! As his fans appreciate improvisation so much, I thought I'd share this link purely because it's so hard for it to be found otherwise.... What Was Relaxation? - Piano Instrumental (thanks/apologies!)

[@jaumetube]

Beautiful. Kind of miss the intimacy of Nils' gigs back in 2011 (went to one in London, for ~50 people). Happy he now performs in front of 1000s but you can't beat those gigs... the bit after 1:46 is just sublime

[@britinthemiddleleigh8160]

A truly beautiful piece.

[@gulaugurrunargumundsson7428]

Intimate feeling when listening awakes good thoughts.

[@1Nixorh]

This is so incredibly deep and inspiring! It's just deep emotions comming out of that piano, through those fingers!

[@L3VIATHAN1833]

Definitiv eins der besten Stücke im Genre!

[@JasonMeekphotographer]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@jorkmorales9612]

Eso es a lo que yo llamo música! This is how music should sound!

[@zemvenusa]

more than good music... this is.. i don't have the right words for this, but think about all the greatest things which have happened to you and you´ll know how i feel right now

[@danilocattaneo7102]

Grande!!!!!!

[@ZubriSSS]

I will listen to him when I'm 80.

[@majavanderzijden1227]

lavina meyer played your music and I think she gave us a pearl of music as a gift

[@pitec6]

"i thank You God for.. this amazing day:for the leaping greenly.. trees and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything.. (i who have died am alive again today, and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth day of life and love and wings:and of the gay great happening illimitably earth) how should tasting touching hearing seeing breathing any-lifted from the no of all nothing-human merely being doubt unimaginable You?

[@Salad-Cream-Binge]

10:53 RIP headphone users

[@broedrick]

[@sandymedina3974]

[@SergioAbarin]

Impressive!!!

18:40 onwards is outright sensational....

[@DavidFedele]

I so much agree. "Other-wordly" - I instantly tear-up at this point. This man is a genius. Simple.

[@annafanelli7687]

GRAZIE

[@robertoavellino6570]

Where can I find the rest of the session in full? This is just amazing!!!

[@FDsessions]

Well, the whole gig was recorded in audio, but there's no rights to make it available. Anyway, you can watch "said & done" and "More" from the same gig on the channel.

Do you know what genre you would categorize this into? I LOVE it!

[@elisavieira737]

Wow

[@sinashabes]

Double pianos!!!!!

[@mattleblanc3138]

How does he get that echo effect? Is he using the mics to reverb back, or a sustain pedal separated from the piano?

[@Soufras]

soul paterns

[@mrpotatocunt2917]

Bum notes from Nils Frahm? Now there's something you don't see every day. Still awesome though.
