Grandbrothers is a piano/experimental duo from Düsseldorf, Germany. They have created a unique sound by using a self-built system of electromagnetic hammers to trigger a grand piano, essentially turning it into a drum machine. Unlike many other artists, Grandbrothers do not rely on synthetic sound sources; instead, all of their music originates from the grand piano itself.

Their innovative approach to music has garnered them comparisons to other talented artists in the industry such as Erland Cooper, Martin Kohlstedt, and Niklas Paschburg. With their mesmerizing compositions and captivating performances, Grandbrothers have carved out their own distinct place in the music scene.

If you are a fan of experimental music that pushes boundaries and challenges traditional notions of what can be done with an instrument like the piano, then Grandbrothers' music is sure to captivate your senses. Experience the extraordinary talent and creativity of this *duo* through their awe-inspiring compositions that showcase the full potential of the grand piano.

Following their EP 'Ezra Was Right' and with early support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Grandbrothers present their debut album 'Dilation'. Twelve Modern Classical / Ambient / Piano pieces, whose sounds are generated completely out of a grand piano using small electromagnetic hammers. First EP 'Ezra Was Right' was an instant hit with Giles Peterson (and inclusion on 'Bubblers 10' comp also)  - with remixes by Greg Wilson, Optimo (JD Twitch), Kim Brown. Now, Grandbrothers present their debut album, 'Dilation', exploring further elements of minimalism, ambient music, IDM, and techno recalling the structural and rhythmic qualities of club music as much as it does the work of a composer like Steve Reich, as well as Ryuichi Sakamoto's collaborations with Alva Noto. Classical, yet forward-thinking; expressive and emotional, yet with one foot on the dancefloor, 'Dilation' is set to be an early highlight sof 2015 and sure to put Grandbrothers on the radar for the future.LP - 180 Gram Vinyl.
