Nils Frahm writes his first score for one-take feature film ‘Victoria’ and is nominated for German film prize

LABEL: Erased Tapes RELEASE DATE: June 15th, 2015 CAT.NO: ERATP071 CD/LP/DL EAN: 4050486110577

ABOUT:
Nils Frahm has always said that he’s just waiting for something real special when being asked if he would ever score the music for a film. And that’s exactly what German director Sebastian Schipper presented to him with his one-take feature ‘Victoria’. Filmed in Berlin, Victoria’s plot sees a runaway party girl, who's asked by three friendly men to join them as they hit the town, but their wild night of partying suddenly turns into a bank robbery as the music changes from techno to subdued piano sounds.

For the recording session at Studio P4 in Berlin, Frahm enlisted the help of long-time collaborator and cellist Anne Müller, violist Viktor Orri Árnason and ambient artist Erik K. Skodvin of Deaf Center on guitar.

IN HIS OWN WORDS:

Dear viewer and listener,

I’ve finally written music for a film. It took me some time to do so, as I was patiently waiting for a movie that would truly speak to me. When director Sebastian Schipper invited me to work on Victoria, I knew it was worth the long wait. Does such a strong film even need music? I realised it wouldn’t be easy to create a score that embraces these bold pictures.

Luckily we were given unusual creative freedom by approaching the movie together with Sebastian Schipper, who was keeping the production and direction to one single team. The score was recorded in a special location, the former GDR broadcasting production facilities that today host Studio P4. We simply put a big screen in the middle of the room, filled it with microphones and instruments, set the movie on loop and kept improvising on top of it together – my good friends and I.

The guest musicians started their recording session by playing a cohesive take over the course of the whole movie. This was the most interesting part of the day, since they hadn’t seen the film before. They became spectators and creators at once, intuitively recording hundreds of different cues that way. You are about to listen to some of its highlights. I hope they do Victoria and your ears justice.

With love, Nils Frahm

PRESS:

‘Frahm's soothing electro-orchestral pieces prove especially effective, washing over the throbbing dance beats like a flood of endorphins.’ – Hollywood Reporter

‘Nils Frahm’s score is an equally flexible asset, veering from juddering electronic chaos to dreamy intrusions of piano and cello — a sonic approximation of the alternating noise in the title character’s wrecked head.’ – Variety

Lyrics:

There's a lullaby, saving us a riot,
Giving back the time, stilling my desire
She knows it's mad, the snows come back
The rose unburned, the page unturned.

Dust your conscience off, you'd better stop
This stubborn mind don't feel too kind
I'll find out why it's in her eyes, Leaving it to roll.

There's a lullaby, saving us a riot
Giving back the time, stilling my desire 
She knows it's mad, the snows come back 
The rose unburned, the sense of her.

Saving Us A Riot

Year Zero

Gideon Wolf - Falling

Exclusive track from ambient experimentalist Specimens' debut album 'Sculptures'...

‘Sculptures’ is Alex Ives (AKA Specimens) most ambitious and daring project to date, following on from releases on underground imprint A Giant Fern, Amsterdam-based Shimmering Moods Records & the collaborative Specimens x Daniel Wiesmayr release, ‘Water & Concrete’ on London’s Tenderly Surrender - the title track of which soundtracked a short from film maker & director, Sophie Littman, premiered via Nowness.

Wearing his influences on his sleeve and with a nod to past and present noise pioneers such as Throbbing Gristle, Leyland Kirby, K.Leimer and Ben Frost, ‘Sculptures’ sonically pans between the dream-like fog heard on the track’s ethereal closer, ‘French Morning’, as well as, ‘Cerulean Forest’, and cold industrial textures prevalent on tracks such as ‘A Marble Hallway’ or ‘Thuvian’.

The lighter, more melodic passages perfectly hold together the record’s jagged, abrasive undertones, occasionally leaning towards a more classical feel in a way the likes of William Basinski and Sean McCann display with regular expertise - best illustrated on the tracks ‘Piano Loops’ and ‘VI.VI.MMXV’.

Ives, who also holds a monthly residency on London’s Radar Radio, said of this release “I didn’t want to make a record intentionally difficult to listen to, but I wanted uncomfortable moments. It was important for me to try and make the record sound as human as possible and in some places distinctly live"

This ‘human’ feel discussed by Specimens is partly achieved through utilising samples of Sudanese wrestling & Tuvan Throat Singing, adding a charm that prevents the record from ever feeling too slick.

'Sculptures' was mastered by iconic sound artist and Room 40 label boss, Lawrence English – a man who also was a key influence in the sonic palette harnessed by Specimens.

“I've been a huge fan of his for a while now, he was probably my first introduction into the ambient/drone world. I wanted to have it mastered by someone I know not only specialises in this music, but someone artistically I looked up to.”

Over the past 18 months Specimens has been collaborating and releasing singles and EPs at a pace that hints at an artist never fully satisfied with sitting on a project. It’s through this process the ambitious producer has not only broadened his creative sphere, but honed in on a sound that is unmistakably his own. The result is a record distinctly individual and unapologetically enjoyable to engage with.

‘Sculptures’ will be available on 13th January via First Terrace Records.

Run For Your Life

Classical Pieces  |  Relaxing Piano    أثَرُ الفَرَاشَةِ

لقد انتحرَ الأزرق والقِرمِزيُّ يَسِيل، فلن تستأنف الحياة حياتها كَما السَّابق .

كلما رأيتني أستكمل الحياة بصرامة أتذكر القرمزي، أتذكر أنني طويت اللون الأزرق بين أضلعي حتى غفيَ من الدفءِ، آهٍ يا لوني المفضل، آهٍ يا صغيري، كم تمنيت أن تكبر وتنمو وتحيا الحياةَ معي وأحيى من أجلك، يا لون عمري ويارفيق مسيرتي، ويا عصفور ليلي الرقيق، ويا شبق البحر مع السماء، وداعاً يا صغيري، سنلتقي مرة أخرى في حياة تعطي لحبي لك فرصة أكثر حظاً، وداعاً إلى حياة مليئة بالأزرق .

إلى الرِفاق الذين ساروا معي نحو الموسيقى والأزرق روحاً بروح. إليهم هذا رغم عدم وجودهم الان، إليهم جميع رسائل الإفتقادِ تلك .
إلي صديقتي التي ما زالت في وجودي البائس ولم تملّ بعد: " ميرنا " .    

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             مُزِجَت هذه الموسيقى من أعمال الموسيقار اليوناني العظيم :

Hello everyone, I would like to show you my new album "Pereehali". This is my third album, it was written and recorded in the summer of 2012. After a long writer's block that was caused by a very pretentious and bombastic second album I decided to make a really intimate, solo-piano work. I lived in the countryside during the recording sessions, and every recording was done by me tête-à-tête with my lovely piano in the wooden house. It was a priceless experience working and writing while having a close contact with nature, it helped me a lot to understand the music I compose, to make it more organic, touching and moving.
