gebrueder teichmann

The Berlin based Gebrüder Teichmann are the two brothers Andi and Hannes Teichmann who work as musicians, DJs and producers and cultural activists. Their work is not limited by style or genre borders. With their musical and cultural projects the two try to find new ways to build bridges.

With their special live electronic setup they collaborate with artists from a wide range of genres, from hip hop to classical music, from traditional to experimental music.

In the field of contemporary music they´ve worked with ensembles as Ensemble Modern or Ensemble Decoder and composers as Moritz Eggert or Leopold Hurt. Beside that they perform with their father Uli Teichmann as Teichmann & Söhne. The improvisation trio not only brings together two generations of german avantgarde musicians, but combines elements of world, freejazz, ambient, techno and krautrock. As networkers they brothers developed intercultural projects in cooperation with Goethe Institutes around the world.

Since 2009 they have put together the project BLNRB with the Goethe-Institut Kenya including artists like Modeselektor, Jahcoozi, Just a Band, Ukoo Flani beside others and are part of the TEN CITIES project management, a research and collaboration project, focusing on history and present of the underground club scenes in the European cities of Berlin, Bristol, Kyiv, Lisbon and Naples and the African cities of Johannesburg, Cairo, Luanda, Lagos and Nairobi.
