Having been available exclusively as the second disc to 2015’s ‘Collaborative Works’, Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm’s improvised audio recordings ‘Trance Frendz’, taken from their 45minute studio film of the same name, have been given their own vinyl release. During a session at Durton Studio in Berlin last summer, Nils and Ólafur invited Alexander Schneider and his camera to document it. The recording continued long after the first take, stretching out into the next day until, eventually, several new improvisations had been recorded in 8 hours with no overdubs or edits. The unexpected nature in which these pieces had been created was reminiscent of their first onstage improvisation many years ago. It became immediately clear how special these songs were.
