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.
