Intimate cello and piano dialogues textured with the ghosts of Cold War era electronics. A warm, mechanical take on modern classical for quiet focus.
CEEYS creates a sound that feels like a conversation between two brothers in a room full of history. The core of their music is the interplay between Sebastian's cello and Daniel's piano, but it is far from a standard recital. There is a tactile, physical quality to the recordings where you can hear the wood of the instruments, the click of the keys, and the subtle hiss of vintage East German gear.
What sets them apart is their use of 'Brot und Butter' (bread and butter) instruments from the former GDR. By integrating these specific analog synthesizers and signal processors into their classical arrangements, they bridge the gap between the organic and the electronic. The result is a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking, capturing a specific European architectural and historical mood.
Start with 'WÆNDE' to experience their most cohesive narrative work. It is an album that explores the concept of walls, both physical and metaphorical, through delicate melodies that slowly build into rich, resonant soundscapes. It is perfect for anyone who finds beauty in the intersection of classical technique and experimental texture.
