"Brainkiller" are an international jazz/prog/psych trio consisting of trombonist Brian Allen (USA), keyboardist Jacob Koller (Japan), and drummer Hernan Hecht (Argentina).[1]
History
editBrainkiller (an amalgam of their nicknames) formed in 2000 when Texas-based Allen and Phoenix native Koller met in a Canadian Airport. They recorded their first album, a self-titled, self-released CD of original acoustic trombone and piano duo compositions, in 2001.[2] Collaborations with others soon followed, including concerts and tours with percussionist Corey Fogel, contrabassist Mark Dresser, and electronic artist backtednted,[3] performing in performing arts centers, universities, new music festivals and clubs.[4] Mexico City-based drummer Hernán Hecht joined the band in 2007 as Brainkiller expanded their touring to include Mexico. The trio recorded "The Infiltration" in Phoenix in March 2008. It was released by Rare Noise Records in October 2010, in conjunction with another tour of Mexico. The trio combines elements of experimental jazz, rock and electronic music, among other genres.[5]
