Tied & Tickled Trio are a German ensemble that aim to merge elements of modern electronic music with
the more familiar, traditional aspects of contemporary jazz. Formed in 1994 by Notwist members
Markus (drums, programming) and Micha Acher (trumpet, upright bass), the original trio eventually
ballooned to include many players from the incestuous (and side-project-heavy) town of Weilheim,
Germany.
