Open [Vinyl]

Grandbrothers are the sum of unique parts: Progressive Swiss engineer Lukas Vogel and German-Turkish pianist Erol Sarp. Their second album Open' twins Sarp's piano skills with Vogel's talent for both building the intricate mechanics with which he exploits his partner's instrument and also designing its software. Sarp works at his ivory keyboard while Vogel live-samples his partner's notes, triggering further effects with the aid of a homemade apparatus that physically manipulate the piano's strings and body. They have essentially built an analogue drum machine out of a grand piano, creating a new shade, a new dimension, a new generation of atmospheric krautrock with the piano at its core. The greatest revelation for anyone hearing them the first time remains the element constant to everything they've recorded: every individual sound that Grandbrothers make stems from one single instrument, a piano. No wonder their music was once memorably described as open heart surgery on a grand.
