Brandt Brauer Frick is a German trio specializing in acoustic minimal techno. Daniel Brandt and Jan Brauer played together in school jazz ensembles and later formed the jazz-influenced dance group Scott. Paul Frick was heavily trained in classical music at a young age and went on to study composition with Friedrich Goldmann at the Berlin University of the Arts and write house music sampling orchestral instruments. The three joined forces in 2008, formed the labels Doppelschall and The Gym and began releasing EP's - culminating in their full length debut album You Make Me Real released on !K7 in November, 2010.

'We had felt for years that most instances of combining techno and classical music lack an authentic approach,' says Paul Frick. 'Instead of using only the typical epic orchestra or piano sounds, we love to explore the dirty and percussive sides of those instruments, adapting techniques from composers like John Cage or Helmut Lachenmann: preparing our piano with screws and rubbers, knocking against every single part of an instrument, until we find that one great sound.' - From bio.
