Musician

ainer Brüninghaus was born in 1949.

He discovered the piano at the age of four years. Initially the music was an amusing game. Without instruction he originated sounds, harmonies and melodies. When he was nine years old, he started classical piano lessons. His talent was evident and a year later he could play Mozart sonatas. At 14 years he discovered jazz and as a 16-year-old he founded a trio and played modern jazz.

From 1968 to 1972 Brüninghaus studied sociology at the university of Cologne, but there grew in him the conviction that his true appeal was music.

During his sociology studies, he founded Eiliff, an experimental jazz rock band with which he recorded two LPs and one single.

From 1971 to 1975 he studied music
