A
documentary capturing the sold-out homecoming concerts at legendary venue Funkhaus Berlin by German musician Nils Frahm, Tripping with Nils Frahm, premiered on Dec. 3 on global film platform MUBI.
"It was about time to document my concerts in picture and sound, trying to freeze a moment of this period where my team and I were nomads, using any method of travel to play yet another show the next day,” Frahm said in a statement.
The film captures his four shows in December 2018 after an eventful world tour where he played at highly acclaimed venues, including the Sydney Opera House, Los Angeles’ Disney Hall, the Barbican in London, Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie and several big festivals around the world.
The homecoming concerts took place at Funkhaus, a venue he viewed personally special as it was where he kicked off the tour in January 2018.

Tripping with Nils Frahm is produced by Leiter in association with American production company Plan B Entertainment. Accompanying the film, a live album of the same name will be released on Erased Tapes.
Based in Berlin, Frahm is known for combining classical and electronic music. NPR described him as "one of the stars of […] neoclassical, a movement takes traditional instruments like grand pianos out of concert halls and into clubs and indie theaters." (gis/wng)
