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!
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
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.
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...
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!

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
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!!!
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!)
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
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
"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? (now the ears of my ears awake and now the eyes of my eyes are opened)"
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.
still listening to this after 12 years
If you hit a wrong note, it's the next note that you play that determines if its's good or bad. Miles Davis ;)
Nils is the most emotional musician i have ever seen. I admire that.
Me too, Mono, me too. I admire Nils Frahm too.
❤

What I'd give to go to an intimate Nils Frahm session like this.
+R. Alam me too, would give anything to go to any of these intimate sessions in someone's apartment you see him playing at
Omg what is this ? No words ! Amasing ! Its not come from this World ! Thanks
ich finde nils frahm gut. ich mag solche relaxmusik. das leben draussen ist sowiso laut genug.
A Master. The fact only 280K people have seen this is both a privilege and a crime!
Considering I've been here like 50 times your deduction is horribly wrong!:)
perfect for a solitary winter evening with a single malt.
So try MULL of OA !
Or any other night
Agreed! My playlist is currently Nils Frahm, Joep Beving & Lionel Towers (this guy th-cam.com/video/8TPToBvAXm8/w-d-xo.html). The best.
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 . Nice description - or is it rather the feeling of being at home AND on an endless trip through space at the same time ...? :)

I wish I could attend his concert in future.
Nazar Donets i feel the same way.
Same here buddy. You should attend one of his concerts, it's still on my bucket list!
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.

8:20 - 11:13 pure magic

Perfect!!!! I just can not believe....
Those people are lucky to be in the same room with Nils during this performance...
I want to listen to this guy until he is 80.. and after that as well!

The part around min 10:00 when all strings flow together is beyond awesome
Intimate feeling when listening awakes good thoughts.
I love this performance ;-) I love this artist... probably one of the best we have never heard before... Fantastic Nils
This brings so many emotions to life. Fantastic.
+InterstellarHD I can't agree more with you..
He gave a birth of new form of music language.
Nils Frahm´s music is out of this world
This guy continues to amaze me. Can't wait to see him live in August.
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
Eso es a lo que yo llamo música! This is how music should sound!
Genius, absolutely emotional
8:20 just made me cry
Grande!!!!!!
Escribir como si tocara el piano cuando escucho a Nils.
Definitiv eins der besten Stücke im Genre!
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
lavina meyer played your music and I think she gave us a pearl of music as a gift
A truly beautiful piece.
Que barbaridad. Poco más se puede decir..
I will listen to him when I'm 80.
Beautiful journey !
Absolutely beautiful!
simplemente hermosa musica
mindblowing, merci.
This is so incredibly deep and inspiring! It's just deep emotions comming out of that piano, through those fingers!

I want to listen to this guy when I AM 80.

10:53 RIP headphone users
lmfao
Что это за композиция?!
"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?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)"
I like how he lets the notes ring just long enough to ring out, but not too much
I'm in love
splendid
was crying anyway but then cried laughing at that omg
Super!!!
why wait till you're 80 when you can listen to him now?
beau à pleurer...
pure
The Force is with him
10:54 ???!
hermoso........
Big Génie👌👌👌👌👌
Great!
He manage to stop time.......
wunderschön
very good vibration
Very cool but very disturbing if you know the record versions. ;-)
very nice
18:40 onwards is outright sensational....
I so much agree. "Other-wordly" - I instantly tear-up at this point. This man is a genius. Simple.
GRAZIE
превосходно!!!
Where can I find the rest of the session in full? This is just amazing!!!
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.
Id like To learn this song 👌
This is amazing. What the fudge happens at 10:55 though? Who kicked the dog?
Parrot?
Do you know what genre you would categorize this into? I LOVE it!
❤️❤️
I would like to order sheet music of Nils, any suggestions, so far unlucky. England
Grear Now i have To learn this song ! Anyone could help please ??
What is the song in the 18:30 part ?
incredible.
Isn't it an improvisation, so no song?
It is a pure improvisation, so there is no title or whatsoever for this. Simply enjoy as it is.
00:00 - 2:47 - Unter
Improvisation.
21:29 - 22:51 - Unter (Again)
The part around 18:00 is largely improvised but draws a few parallels to "Old Thought" which is also similar to "Ross's Harmonium".
My favorite part starts from 8:10
🎶 🎶 🌾 🌟 🌸 ❤ 💚 💜 🎶 🎶
Mozzi again!
Double pianos!!!!!
❤️
Can it be purchased as an MP3?
