Grandbrothers are jazz pianist Erol Sarp and synthesizer constructor & software specialist Lukas Vogel. They are both musicians and sound designers who can make a good old grand piano produce sounds hitherto unheard. Their musical language is classical, appealing, distinctly rhythmic and straightforward, but its illusive simplicity conceals an impressive architecture – the grand piano is equipped with intricate devices that can make any component of the instrument a source of sound.

The duo’s latest album, Elsewhere, will be released on September 26, 2025, marking a new era in their musical activity. Until now, the duo have used a traditional concert grand piano and conventional rhythm formulas, but for the new project, Erol and Lukas also apply analog synthesizers and a drum machine, giving their performance an even stronger and more dynamic dimension.

A new view on the stage structure, fresh ideas for the interplay of lights – Grandbrothers are on their way to visit the Élysée Montmartre in Paris, the Melkweg in Amsterdam, Huxleys Neue Welt in Berlin, Scala London, and Vicar Street in Dublin, among others.

Grandbrothers are inspired by John Cage and Steve Reich, and shared aesthetics tie them to both Hauschka and Ludovico Einaudi. The duo’s biography includes performances at numerous classical concert halls, the Montreux Jazz Festival, popular clubs in European cities, a grandiose concert at the Cologne Cathedral broadcast by TV ARTE, various film scores, as well as four albums.
