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

Nils Frahm – Our Own Roof

SLAM Dunkle’s Already Widely Known is a genre-bending odyssey that fuses razor-sharp lyricism, storytelling, and raw emotion into an unforgettable sonic experience. Split into three acts with an encore, the album traverses fame, struggle, self-discovery, and the surreal, weaving intricate wordplay with deep introspection. From the anthemic bravado of Call Me Fame to the poetic turbulence of Kick the World and the hypnotic grooves of SAYMO Sinatra, each track paints a vivid picture of ambition, identity, and the human condition. A fearless mix of hip-hop, spoken word, and avant-garde artistry, Already Widely Known cements SLAM Dunkle as a visionary voice in modern rap.

Well Tempered (ACOUSTIC soprano sax and Church organ) CLASSICAL TRANCE. Ritual music.

Hello all, this is one of my term projects for my final semester at college (Woohoo!)! 

I was tasked with writing a political song and I chose to write about Death with Dignity laws and the struggle accepting mortality and overcoming the fear of death. 

The title and parting line comes from one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes, about an old agoraphobic woman who unknowingly invites Death into her home. Death befriends her and convinces her to touch him. He says, "You see? No shock. No engulfment. No tearing asunder. What you feared would come like an explosion is like a whisper". Rod Serling ends the episode in his classic enigmatic monologue style with, "There was an old woman who lived in a room. And, like all of us, was frightened of the dark. But who discovered in a minute last fragment of her life that there was nothing in the dark that wasn't there when the lights were on."
