Tied & Tickled Trio is an experimental jazz and electronic collective that emerged from the German indie scene in the 1990s. Co-founded by brothers Markus and Micha Acher, who are also known for their work with the indie band The Notwist, the ensemble blends a range of genres, including jazz, ambient, and post-rock, crafting a distinctive sound that often incorporates electronic elements. Their name, quirky and intriguing, is a reflection of the band's playful and exploratory musical approach, which continuously defies easy categorization.

Over the years, Tied & Tickled Trio has delivered several critically acclaimed albums that have propelled them to a unique niche within the modern jazz and electronic music circuits. Remarkable releases like "La Place Demon" and "Aelita" showcase their penchant for creating hauntingly atmospheric tracks, while earlier works such as their self-titled "Tied & Tickled Trio" and "A.R.C." solidified their reputation as sonic adventurers. "Observing Systems" and the two-part series "Ea1 Ea2" further exhibit the Trio's commitment to innovative compositions, blending improvisation with structured harmonies. The remixed version of "Ea1 Ea2 Rmx" suggests the band's openness to reinterpretation, highlighting their dynamic and evolving nature in the realm of contemporary music.
