Tschaikowsky & Kann

In late October 2026, the debut album ('A New Way To Life') by Berlin-based duo Tschaikowsky & Kann will be released. Their music moves through ambient, Krautrock and kosmische Musik in equal measure — meditative and slow-burning, with a dreamlike, introspective pull that rewards deep listening. Ahead of the album, the duo releases a 12" maxi-single carrying its title track, "I Thought This Was Going To Be My Year", which will also appear on the album. The B-side holds two exclusive pieces, "Slow Morning" and "Slow Evening“, available on vinyl only on this maxi-single. All three tracks are entirely instrumental. Tschaikowsky & Kann is Niklas Tschaikowsky (guitars) and Leonhard Kann (synthesizer, drum computer, field recording). Their sound draws on a lineage of German electronic and experimental music — echoes of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Harmonia and Brian Eno run through it — filtered into a quieter, more contemporary register. The duo has already shared stages with artists including Hayden Pedigo, Minami Deutsch and Blood Incantation.
