about

After their debut LP THE GRUNEWALD CHURCH SESSION in 2016, Brueder Selke, East Berlin-born brothers, now Potsdam-based poly-instrumental composers Sebastian and Daniel Selke, also known as award-winning cello-piano duo CEEYS, released a trilogy of LPs dedicated to their personal reactions to the fall of the Iron Curtain, the Berlin Wall, in combination with stories from their early classical apprenticeship in the centre of life and training that was a modern socialist plattenbau.

On CONCRETE FIELDS, WÆNDE and HIDDENSEE, the duo combined their cello and piano setup with other traditional instruments of the communist era,
including many varied and quasi-antique synthesizers.
Originally conceived as a trilogy and subsequently reimagined as an anthology, the CEEYS catalogue in total could also be split into three dilogies:
THE GRUNEWALD CHURCH SESSION & CONCRETE FIELDS (from sketchy childhood fragments to the 1980s),
WÆNDE & HIDDENSEE (the historic turning point in 1989 and the vague 1990s).

In 2020 the two released a pure acoustic album from the present HAUSMUSIK.
Recording a chamber music session from their home studio, it is based around their main instruments cello and piano.

Now it feels organic that MUSIKHAUS changes the point of view and follows in the form of a carefully curated rework album.
Thus HAUSMUSIK and MUSIKHAUS form the third dilogy of the two.

The album title not only mirrors the original but converts the cosy chamber music idea into the vision of a house of music what is here closely connected to the brothers’ Q3Ambientfest, a boutique music festival that blends established and emerging artists from diverse genres and origins and invites open-minded music lovers to discover today’s contemporary spectrum.


Daniel Cole


“The catalogue of our work under the anonymous CEEYS does not solely serve a narrative from the past
and the division of the world into East and West at that time, but is in constant dialogue between apparent controversy and aspired harmony in the interplay of our long-term duo collaboration and paves the way for releases under our own name.”
