Ceeys are the Berlin-born, 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 former GDR, combining this semi-antique gear with famous vintage analog devices from the former western bloc, as well as modern equipment. In addition, they integrate subtle handmade percussive sounds using the full acoustic potential of their classical instruments and processing it with numerous effects.
Altogether, they create a captivating balance of classical and jazz, pop and alternative, minimal and ambient — experimental but accessible music.
Their upcoming album and photography project, CONCRETE FIELDS, is a personal reflection on both growing up in the dreary landscape of Europe’s largest prefab estate Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Berlin, East Germany, and their first musical contact with chamber music as an original duo playing cello and piano in the edgy last decade of the GDR
