Description

Genuine musical innovation requires venturing into uncharted territories, and this collection takes you on a journey into an entirely new world of experimental string effects. From intriguing noises and strange artifacts to creative clusters and seemingly impossible techniques, it pushes the boundaries of traditional string performance, exploring methods rarely – or never – seen in standard practice.

Two string ensembles performing together – one in the Hollywood-proven Stage A and the other in the intimate, direct setting of Stage B – allow for seamless blending. Merging artistry with cutting-edge creativity, this unique collection delivers breathtaking sonic effects, putting on a whole new set of strings – perfect for creating cinematic tension, abstract sound design, or avant-garde compositions.
