Nils Frahm's Recorded Music vs Live Music

Hi all,

I'm a life long music lover and, I assume, that's the reason you're all here too! Normally music is a very personal thing but just lately I've been looking for a place to find some good discussion around music.

My first point I'd like to raise is the difference between Nils Frahm's live vs recorded music. I love both and he's my go to artist at the moment. However, the live music involves a lot more electronic music with more energy (can't really find examples on youtube, his recent tour is the best example). I was hoping that his latest release Encores 2 would offer something more of this but unfortunately not. I believe all four dates of his December Funkhaus shows were recorded, lets hope the result arrives quickly! Anyone else feel this way?

This question is worth considering

I don’t have any idea but it makes me want to go through his discography and think about it

I saw him at Mutek in Montreal in 2013 and the second show he did there was absolutely mind-bending. My SO at the time dragged me to so many shows during that festival, and this is the only name that seared itself into my memory. He definitely knows how to work with the acoustics in the venues he plays in and mess with the volume to make things dramatic, and this doesn't translate so well into studio recordings.
