SURROGATE SIBLING is the crossover studio project of composer/multi-instrumentalist Dieter Dolezel, located right at the intersection of modern electronica and contemporary chamber music.
The music is deliberately never strictly one or the other, oscillating freely between intricately crafted string and piano arrangements and contemporary electronic beats and soundscapes in varying degrees, incorporating a wide range of influences spanning from Reichian minimalism to Autechre’s abstract electronica.
The self-titled debut was released to critical acclaim on autentico music in late 2014, with a short tour accompanying its release. The notable first lineup featured <a href="spotify:artist:23Yv6j1axUmPPo5M6u6erO" data-name="Carlos Cipa">Carlos Cipa</a> on piano and New York based <a href="spotify:artist:5brkBAR2paDqCvQDteLIhN" data-name="Sirius Quartet">Sirius Quartet</a> as collaborators. Since its release, the album slowly but steadily garnered recognition, ultimately resulting in listings on several high-profile playlists on Spotify et al. and a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell.
2018 saw the release of Surrogate Sibling’s sophomore studio album Hive on acclaimed Swedish label 1631 Recordings. Despite being staged in a much more intimate setting, it is significantly broader in scope by rebalancing the relationship of its ingredients more towards the electronic side and the addition of maverick vocalist <a href="spotify:artist:4YoEaPe1QQUBC7rNNuqSLi" data-name="Chaem">Chaem</a> to the current lineup, enhancing the so far purely instrumental sonic palette with her hugely distinctive voice.
