Description:

Ceeys;waende by Ceeys, released 18 May 2018. This version of Ceeys;waende comes as a 1xLP. The vinyl is pressed as a opaque disc. - SEBASTIAN SELKE

Hybrid' is a word that has always been vital to Ceeys' vocabulary, but it's application is not limited to the manner in which cellist Sebastian Selke and his brother, pianist Daniel Selke, combine their two instruments so harmoniously. Instead, like the duo's very name - which merges the words 'violoncelle' and 'keys' - it is reflective of their overall aesthetic, one in which they integrate the many ingredients that have helped shape them as both musicians and people. Ceeys' idiosyncratic style is characterized by a rather reduced approach to composition and improvisation. In exploiting their knowledge of songwriting, textures and repetitive patterns, they create an experimental but accessible minimalism between avant-garde and pop that incorporates elements of jazz, ambient and classical chamber music. A product as much of the music with which they grew up as of that which now surrounds them, and as much indebted to their childhood environment as to that in which they now live, Concrete Fields is the first part of a planned trilogy and - certainly not by accident - it was released in the very year that marked the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution of 1917. Through this conscious process of coming to terms with the prefab estate in which they were raised - Europe's largest, located in the district of Marzahn-Hellersdorf - the brothers create music that at times feels familiar, but which remains refreshingly, invigoratingly unique, thereby mirroring the myriad sounds to which they have been exposed throughout their lives. Currently, Ceeys is presenting their third album WÆNDE at the Berlin label Neue Meister. Here, they focus on the remembrance of 1989, a year which brought many changes.

"Wände" is a captivating LP by the Berlin-based duo Ceeys, released under the renowned label Neue Meister. This album explores themes of memory, transformation, and the invisible boundaries that shape our lives?both personal and collective. Through an evocative blend of cello, piano, and subtle electronics, Ceeys crafts soundscapes that are both intimate and cinematic. The music draws inspiration from their East German upbringing during a time of political change, resulting in compositions rich with nostalgia yet forward-looking in spirit. Ceeys consists of brothers Sebastian and Daniel Selke. Known for their innovative approach to modern classical music, they have garnered international acclaim through performances at prestigious festivals such as Reeperbahn Festival and Q3Ambientfest (which they also curate). Their previous albums have been praised for blending neoclassical elements with ambient textures. Neue Meister is a progressive record label based in Germany specializing in contemporary classical music. With a roster featuring some of today?s most exciting composers and musicians, Neue Meister has established itself as a platform for boundary-pushing projects that redefine what classical music can be.
