Brainkiller are an international jazz/prog/psych trio consisting of trombonist Brian Allen (USA), keyboardist Jacob Koller (Japan), and drummer Hernán Hecht (Argentina).[1]
Brainkiller (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 contrabassist Mark Dresser[3] and electronic artist backtednted [4] as the duo regularly toured across the USA in performing arts centers, universities, new music festivals and clubs.[5][6] They were awarded a residency from Houston's Diverse Works in 2003, enabling an extensive Brainkiller Trio tour with LA-based percussionist Corey Fogel. This period had the band making extensive use of electronic effects and samplers, seeking a deeper and varied timbral palette.[7] The duo continued performing until 2007, when Mexico City-based drummer Hernán Hecht joined Brainkiller as a permanent member. The trio recorded "The Infiltration" in Phoenix in March 2008. It was released by RareNoiseRecords in October 2010, in conjunction with a tour of Mexico. The trio combines elements of experimental jazz, rock and electronic music, among other genres.[8]
