‘Paris’ was recorded in the dramatic surroundings of the Philharmonie de Paris’ Grand Salle Pierre Boulez one and a half years after his magnum opus, ‘Music For Animals’, “a musical waterfall,” according to PopMatters, “of monumental proportions”. 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’, was recorded during shows in Berlin’s grandiose Funkhaus Saal 1, once the largest studio in the former GDR’s radio complex. ‘Paris’, nonetheless, is Frahm’s first live album from a single night, March 21, 2024, and contains ten tracks over a running time of 84 minutes. It will be available as a limited edition 2LP.
