Grandbrothers is a German duo consisting of Erol Sarp and Lukas Vogel, known for their innovative blend of classical piano and contemporary electronic music. Formed in Düsseldorf, Grandbrothers developed a unique sound by combining Sarp’s expressive piano playing with Vogel’s custom-built electromechanical devices, which manipulate the grand piano’s strings and body in real-time. This approach transforms the instrument into a hybrid between an acoustic and digital machine, expanding its sonic possibilities.
Their debut album, *Dilation* (2015), immediately garnered attention for its meticulous fusion of minimalism, ambient, and electronica. The follow-up albums, *Open* (2017) and *All the Unknown* (2021), further established their reputation, showcasing intricate rhythmic patterns, atmospheric textures, and emotive melodies. Drawing inspiration from artists as varied as Steve Reich, Nils Frahm, and Aphex Twin, Grandbrothers continue to push boundaries, both in the studio and during their mesmerizing live performances, where their organic-mechanical interplay captivates audiences worldwide.
