Nils Frahm - Fundamental Values (Live from Tripping with Nils Frahm) 

Who else is listening to this 10 times in a row? ✋🏻🎹🎧🎼🙆🏻

I woke up this morning and discovered that the concert was online. After listening to this concert more than ten times, I tell myself fortunately that people like you exist to make the world a better place with their artistic vision. You are one of the people who have inspired me the most in the world. I have been following and listening to your albums and concerts since 2009. You have influenced me so much in my practice of dance and circus, because I am a dancer and acrobat. In 2018 after the concert at the Festival La route Du Rock in France in Brittany. I decided to train as a musical composer. So every day I am a little happier because you have certainly changed my life. So thank you for all the love you give to the world and the inspiration that flows through us. Thank you for the beauty of your soul Nils Frahm.

Being on acid in this concert was one of the most intense experience i've ever had ! Thanks for your music, you're out of this world ❤️

There is a new emotion and we are the first ones to feel it. This is really intense, serene and rhapsodic. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I was there, when the concert was taped. It was the best concert experience of my life. Deeply transcendent. Thank you Nils for creating these special common spaces and to help us to expand our minds into endless openness.

It's probably the most sophisticated piece of music I've ever listened to. Simply ungraspable!

That's why he's the GOAT

Still absolutely fantastic and touching in 2023 ❤

That piano entry at 02:41.. heavenly. Edit: I keep coming back to this, masterpiece.

This is fundamentally beautiful.

1. Wait for the pandemic to end 2. Go to to see Nils live 3. Repeat 2. step

OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED

Dear Nils, One fateful night I stumbled upon "says", it spoke to me like music have never spoken before and I became enamored with your music Nils. I listened through every album you had and fell in love with the timbre you create with your soft playing, as well as your slow building minimalistic electronic music. I could not get enough of your music and then you released all melody and I bought it on cd (my car at the time only had a cd player nothing else) and I played the heck out of it (my favorite song by far is harm hymn, the raw emotion and the chord changes just hit my soul in an otherworldly way). I went to your concert in at the Boulder Theatre and it was pure awe, the entire concert was an absolute rush of dopamine and it was the *BEST* concert I've ever been to by far. I recorded you playing fundamental values and I selfishly kept it to myself because I knew it was special and wanted to keep it hidden. And you just released this and it once again has blown my mind. I have been listening to this non-stop since it has come out. I also listen to your music every night before bed as well as I have learned a countless number of your songs on the piano. I just want to say, thank you so so so much for being such a unique and incredible artist, you paint such an incredible scene with your art. You have inspired me to become a better pianist and listener. You might never even read this comment but I hope to meet you someday and tell you how much you have influenced my life. PS We even share a birthday together! September 20th!

My favourite tune in the world x

Our fundamental value should be... world peace and the absence of hate and greed... this sound embodies it for me

AHH THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY. I came here because right now I really wish I was in a room full of Nils fans to feel all the joy! I miss concerts. Also thank you Nils for putting such beautiful energy out into the world.

Whenever I see Nils live videos, I'm in equal parts amazed and depressed with the sheer brilliancy of this man.

My European friends are so lucky for the chance to see him live!!! Wish he would tour the USA. Would honestly be a dream come true. Even watching online gives me goosebumps.

8:42 gives you those type of outer space chills and suddenly you're flyin through space in your frickin mind covered with sound, Nils u're one of a hell of genius bro

I know this comment will get buried but I just have to say that I feel you Nils. I recognize the Divine in the creativity that you have allowed to express through you. Thank you for sharing with us the beautiful mind that you have - reminding us of all our essential freedom.

His music give me sense of being before any words or thoughts were formed.

Nils, this is heaven, the way you play, so smooth. You let your soul out, to show us the inner Nils. Thanks for this masterpiece... emotions and tears ... You are great!

Imagine the infinite possibilities all the instruments and knobs can give.....and he makes them sound like this. Mesmerizing.

Thank you for saving 2020.

I think this tour was his creative peak.

❤ Best musician in the world for me. He is one with his instruments. He = music. 🙏🏻 Huge inspiration.

Masterpiece. Nils I love your amazing music... Chapeau bas ❤️🙏

Dude, you're an absolute legend. The passion, soul and heart you play with is utterly beutiful!

Hi folks.. es ist immer wieder Nils zu hören und zu sehen. hatte die Empfehlung von einem jungen liebenswürdigen Mann 👨 bekommen.. leider habe Nils nicht live sehen können. Nils ist für der Begabteste Electro-Pop Musiker unserer Zeit Einfach Genial 🤩 Wohlwollend Grüsse ich aus der Schweiz 🙏🙏🙏

This version of FV was always saved just for concerts as a little treat for those who were fortunate enough to see Nils live. I felt special having heard it, and now I'm overjoyed that everyone gets to experience this absolute treat of a song. :')

A true visionary and master of his craft. Very few modern musicians compare

If you'd ask me for one reason to Love Nils' music I'd probably say it's the fluidity with which he constantly reinvents his own songs.Every convert you hear the songs in new versions and constantly explore them from different perspectives. Very much looking forward to the next convert here in Berlin! Until then, stay safe Nils!

Schöne Musik macht Leben so lebenswert und läßt einem in eine andere Welt eintauchen! Vielen Dank Nils Frahm. Ich als möchtegern-Musiker bin einfach fasziniert von der schönen , inspirierenden und Wort fällt mir gerade nicht ein aber meint Spontankreativen Musik von Nils Frahm, die viele Ideen und Gedanken meiner früher gehörten Musik beinhaltet/auffrischt - von Klaus Schulze über Brian Eno Apollo/Filmusik for Airports und Riuyichi Sakamotos Left Handed Dream auch Tomitas Interpretation von Claire de Lune - alles kleine Meisterwerke ihrer Art, die ich Jahrelang leidenschaftlich gehört habe. Ahnlich wie Nils Frahm auch aber schon ab den 70ern seltenste analoge Musikinstrumente gesammelt (auch Einzelstücke wie einen VCS-6 oder TD Synthie oder speziellen Chroma), aber leider selten wirklich musikalisch benutzen konnte (wenig Platz, Familie und ander "Hobbies", außerdem Probleme Tonfolgen zu merken). Habe viel Zeit in einigen Studios verbracht Container Records "Fettes Brot bei der Jein" Aufnahme zugehört, oder noch Studio 33 in Hamburg erlebt, aber auch bekannte Filmmusiker über die Schulter geschaut. Dann Studienarbeit über spezielle aktive Lautsprecher geschrieben (und getestet). Gerade auch in Problemzeiten immer der Musik treu geblieben, viel in sich gehend über Stax Kophörer - auch mal ein Tränchen runterrollend oder mit Gänsehaut. Eigentlich gibt es nicht viel schöneres als gute Musik über eine gute Anlage zu hören und zu genießen. Gerade in Japan wird Musik auch sehr zelebriert, die richtigen Sessel mit dem teurem Holzlicht aufgestellt, Raum abgedunkelt und über glühende Röhren und Nagra-Anlagen über große Western Hörner eine Jazz/Klassik/Blues-Platte aufgelegt und einfach nur genossen. So wie ich Nils Frahm auch gerne mit Video genieße, wie er die Arpeggios schwitzend, und mit leisen summenden Tönen begleitet, in die Instrumente einarbeitet. Ich freue mich schon über jese neue Veröffentlichung und hoffe auch einmal live in einem Konzert mithören und mitfiebern zu können :-). Sicher ein ganz besonderer Künstler unserer Zeit!

I was waiting two years for this!

6:25 ... was für eine zauberhafte und schöne Melodie. Zweifellos eine Melodie, mit der eine ganze Symphonie oder endlose Variationen gemacht werden könnten. Nils, ich höre deine Musik fast jeden Tag. Danke für deine Musik, die ein Balsam in meinem Leben ist. Grüße von einem Galicier, der Ihre Musik mit Leidenschaft aus Brasilien hört! Muito obrigado! Vielen Dank!

No matter how gentle and delicate your touch is, I always learn from your playing that all pianos are fundamentally very free percussion instruments. Thank you. After Piano Day, at the end of March.👏🎹💐

oh man this is just insanly beautiful... this is prove of the fact that music is a journey.. music is emotion.. music is love... i cannot describe the feeling when i listen to beautiful music like this... or when i play the piano myself.. (ofcourse Nils Frahm is leeps & boundrys ahead of me...) I think music is the one and only universal language.. its pure magic

Had the incredible pleasure of attending Nils' performance in Antwerp yesterday. Overwheling. Mindblowing. Breathtaking. Energy and bliss for the soul. Incomparable.

C'è di più della tecnica, c'è di più della maestria nel condurre lo strumento, c'è molto di più.....Questo uomo sa emozionare. I suoi spettacoli sono viaggi, se ti lasci trasportare ti ritroverai dove il tuo animo desidera di andare. Si sa, la musica arriva dove le parole non possono. Grazie.

Was ein Kunstwerk!!

absolute perfection

Experiencing few of this All Melody live performances none sounded like the other. These pieces evolved with time - the Fundamental Values are the best example for that. I really love the late 2018’s versions when in every track there were “Best sounding moments”: 1. When Nils transcend from Una Corda/ Harmonium to three high notes of Sunson and as they are rising up Nils uses the foot pedal for the first time which for me is the moment when you “see the title in movies”it’s the opening moment to the journey. 2. Next he introduces the Fundamental Values with slowly building up the melody and gently improvising on Una Corda, as the switch behind him is turned on he moves to Main Station when he turns on the drum machine. Best moment for me is when he improvised on Fender Piano (not in this version). The track goes quiet as he gently spins the knob. 3. We have heard some loud sounds so let’s slow down a little... Nils starts the quiet My Friend the Forest and what I love about this quiet 15 minutes piano moment is transition to The Dane and later on to Familiar - you have a sense of feeling that this is one fluid track. 4. After that it’s time for Human Range and Forever Changeless I like these but I understand why in late 2019 these have been removed (at least at the performance I had attend to) 5. It’s time for the Main Show... We hear “looped” sound coming from nowhere - its All Melody - most admired piece by myself. As the beat pedal is on - Nils plays on Fender with two fingers - and what can I say? It all matches to the rest. Track goes two times quietly as Nils moves between Main and “Support” station to his third Juno Synth. Best part for me is when at the final 3 minutes low sound is bent on synth, combined with beat pedal switching on/off constantly and Nils moving from Fender to Mellotron. As the “choir voices are played loudly” the public is excited for more and we move to #2... 6. This track is perceived by myself as the highest point of adrenaline because of the strong sounds which are played. After that - beautiful transition to Hammers when probably it’s the first time when your hands may hurt because of the speed. 7. Nils talks about his most searched track on web - Says and why he loves actually not doing much for 9 minutes. 8. The stage goes dim and artist disappears. Then the public sees him going back on stage (after 3 second of course) with champagne. The beautiful Ode version starts(can’t wait to hear it 3rd Dec) and Nils plays back on the Una Corda and Harmonium. Time for toilet brushes - the awkward moment for those not familiar with his music. And then it starts... More , because we want this show last more and relax for some longer... That piece took me some time to practice with Echo effect but is managed to recreate it in primitive way. But nothing sounds so good as tuned expensive Grand Piano. More is different than 2013 Spaces version - it’s more profound and improvised. Last segments of piano before switching to “Rhodes Only Part” is astonishing as well as going to “Full Grand Piano” when the audience reacts loudly. The old version used to use twice sustain pedal where first one is for brief moment to just mislead the audience by saying “it’s not yet”. Mid 2019 version contains only one sustain pedal activation which lasts to the very end, the echo is much faster and while piece is played more aggressive as well. Then it finishes as the final sound is “picked up” on the mixer. That’s the end ,the show ended , but I remember it perfectly to this day because of it’s importance and uniqueness. Thank You Nils and Your Tech/Management Team for bringing us these moments.

I thought I died and woke up in heaven! Masterpiece!

I have been listening to Nils Frahm for several years and now I am sitting here after hearing this Masterpeace for the first time fighting back my tears. I bow before your musical genius:)

Utterly surreal

This track awakens eternal love in me! Thank you so much!

can't stand the wait to see him live once in my lifetime...

So. Damn. Beautiful.

Beautiful! Danke sehr!

This is beyond excellence. In tears from this beauty.

Это красиво, это эстетично! Много эпитетов можно подобрать! А комментарии, как обычно, односложные и одночленные реплики! Совсем народ отупел и обленился! А да, Нилс Фраам это музыкально и это главное!

I really love this music....It's magic ❤️

Nils you absolute legend, you have created something I didn't know I need. you're totally original ! Thanks man, respect.

Awesome news. I have seen Nils a couple of time live...enjoyed those every minutes

Thank you NILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chills after chills!

How you bring every single note and every sound to life... absolutely amazing! Dankeschön, Nils!

Не могу перестать слушать этот шедевр!😇Спасибо!

a masterpiece

Takes you to another dimension

This guy's music was used in a study where they gave suicidally depressed patients a dissociative-hallucinogenic drug called ketamine and played Frahm for an hour to see if their mood improved

just...magic...thank you...

Naprawde swietna muzyka, moje klimaty, uwielbiam!

He makes it sound so easy but it takes a huge amount of mastery! Outstanding!

sublime as always

🖤

The master at work

Stunning!

Transcendental! Brought back great memories of seeing Nils perform in 2018. The strobe effect during the song's coda is spectacular to witness with your own eyes, and I would get chills whenever he would play the voices from Shards.

What a great improvisation! ...enjoyed every minute of it

THIS. IS. SOMETHING. VERY. BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU!!!!

I am so so happy there is finally an HQ version of this live!

Getting us out of the grey - great tandem in music!

Nils Frahm reminds me of Coil, with the difference that Coil were of the Moon and Nils is of the Sun.

Einfach fantastisch 👍

Mesmerising man, stunning

4:17 when the left hand starts to join the party, wow!

probably the best IDM I have ever listened to

Astoundingly soph

..... Oh, yeah !!! This is an extraordinary story that we have lived here and now together with the Master! A magical performance that is impossible to tear yourself away from! ... The universe froze for a moment, and immediately responded to us, drawing patterns of the original divine essence with a fractal kaleidoscope. Its light turned into sound. The sound became tangible and reformatted into dancing color. The Time sparkled, shimmered, slowed down, and pulsating dissolved ... Paradoxical, but Divine harmony !!! I am happy to hear music again, expanding breathing, changing consciousness !!! This is an absolute, deep resonance, trance and catharsis !!! Another delightful masterpiece from the maestro !!! My soul says: - Bravo, Nils !!!! Thank you !!! Благодарю сердечно!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Nils this is my first experience of your music and this is altogether a different level, beyond the realm we live in. This is soul satisfying! You are creating amazing and wonderful music! Keep creating more and help people like me expand our soul! Peace and strength to you!

Sehr schön und mit sehr viel Gefühl für die Details - Danke und bleibt alle gesund da draussen

Just what I needed after having a really bad day 😕 Thank you for this gorgeous music 💜

He has the especially message to understand and love the life

can't wait for the full thing!

instant goosebumps

I have literally been waiting years for these live recordings, thank you so much!

When you shut your eyes and feels something,something that you makes smile---This is a fundamental ye...❤❤

This is soo insane! Pure masterpiece nils 💯 🙏🏼

Whenever is see your name I rush to have aFrahmFix knowing my day will uplifted by your piano fingers playing on an old piano. Thank you for sharing with us

Hey Nils, your work is some kind of invitation to pass through different dimensions with mind and sense! It's a sort of sensual experimentation of human capacity to receive and elaborate musical translation of universe...thanks!

A masterpiece 🌻

Your awesome love it , head back to Melbourne when you can🙏

This song, especially toward the crescendo, sounds exactly like what Nils has described before is his experience while composing. It’s as if all that bouncing between instruments and controllers is a frenetic chase to keep pace with his muse.

Come to Norway after the pandemic is over!!! Please!!!!

I saw this film earlier tonight in Canberra, Australia .... and it was magnificent.

Tripping with Nils Frahm is a fabulous idea.

Loving that rare Poland No-Go synth of his!
