Real name: Freek Kinkelaar

Effective period / Period of releases: 1991 - 2015

Brunnen sprang to life in 1989 when Kinkelaar started looking for a solo project, running parallel to his work with Beequeen, that would combine his more song-based material with abstract soundscapes. When Beequeen began incorporating more and more songs in their musical output, Brunnen became less prevalent as Kinkelaar's songs found a welcome home on Beequeen albums. As a consequence Kinkelaar stopped recording as Brunnen in 2015, recording and releasing music under his own name since.
The name is German for 'wells', indicating Brunnen's music sprang from the soul.
