Potsdam-based brothers Sebastian and Daniel Selke, an instrumental duo performing an impressive hybrid of principally cello and piano, but also authentic electronic instruments from East Germany. The tracks present a sensitive array of nebulous melancholy moods, combining fragile cello-piano units, creeping synth pads, vivid field recordings and fragmentary beats. Some tracks start with sparingly-arranged intros before developing into a tentative melody line. Others simply concentrate on the sublime relationship between cello and piano. Deepening the exploration of the brothers' childhood in East Berlin and the interplay of their instruments, a particularly special feature is the use of some original restored electronic instruments made by famous GDR-based company VERMONA back in the 70s and 80s.
