Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm - Collaborative Works (2015)

Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm announce Double-CD release 'Collaborative Works' comprising all three vinyl EPs 'Loon', 'Stare' and 'Life Story Love And Glory' as well as 7 new songs from their 'Trance Frendz' studio film. ''The music on this CD is a collection of our studio collaborations from recent years. We would meet in Reykjavik or Berlin with the intention to share some days off work, hiking, swimming or eating pizza. That is great for a couple days, but after a while we would always end up back in the studio, fiddling with synths or pianos. This collection of recordings cannot be an album.
It will remain a collage of our studio experiments of the past. It simply is convenient to have them all together here, so you don't need to look out for some limited 10'' somewhere or deal with a nerdy record dealer in Japan to track down this one 7'' which will turn out to sound pretty rough anyways… consider them as moments in space and time where we shared the same room for some days to come down and enjoy making music. After deciding to release the studio collaborations, we planned to do a video session of us performing an improvised duet to promote the release''.
