Bosworth Music, part of Wise Music Group, is pleased to announce their collaboration with Grandbrothers - composers Erol Sarp and Lukas Vogel have signed a worldwide deal with the publisher. 

Grandbrothers is a German-Swiss music duo founded in 2011 by pianist Erol Sarp and electronic musician Lukas Vogel, who have gained a steadily growing international audience with three studio albums and subsequent European tours to date.

The starting point of their music is always the concert grand piano, but the heart is in a machine: a frame towers above the instrument, to which electromechanical hammers are attached. When these strike the strings it sounds like a kind of harpsichord – directed at the wood or individual brass parts, they transform the resonant body into a percussion instrument. In addition, induction coils are used – so-called "bows" – which vibrate the strings through a magnetic field and produce string-like sounds. While Sarp sits at the grand piano, Vogel controls the system by means of self-programmed software, records the generated sounds and processes them in real time with effects - the machine hangs between the two musicians like an interface.

With their innovative setup, Grandbrothers released their debut album "Dilation" in 2015 on the Berlin label FILM Recordings, which was highly praised by the public and the press. In 2017 and 2021, they released the LPs "Open" and "All The Unknown" on City Slang.

The duo contributed music for the soundtrack to the film "Hors normes" by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano, which premiered at the Cannes International Film Festival in May 2019. In 2020 they created the score for "Wanda, mein Wunder" by Swiss director Bettina Oberli.

In August 2022, Grandbrothers played an exclusive concert at the invitation of the World Cultural Heritage Site Cologne Cathedral with pieces composed especially for the special acoustics of the venue. The music composed for this will be released as an album in early 2023.

Grandbrothers comments: "With Bosworth Music and Wise Music Group we share a strong common vision for our music. We are very excited to be working with a publisher that has great expertise in our genre. An important next step for us!"

Michael Ohst, Bosworth Music says: "We are proud to have signed Grandbrothers. Their powerful and innovative sound creations are an absolute asset to our repertoire. Grandbrothers have already set many signs with their successes at home and abroad. We are excited to continue this success story together."
