The International Nothing // Nine Strings // Sinking Loss
Michael Thieke and Kai Fagaschinski (Berlin) THE INTERNATIONAL NOTHING is the collective name, both composer / clarinetists are working exclusively on compositions (no improv), where both instruments melt into one sound, which sometimes sounds like more than two instruments through the extensive use of multiphonics and difference tones; their pieces have a delicate and slowed down quality and celebrate a unique and timeless beauty; they will present a collection of pieces developed between 2003 and 2009 With support by Goethe-Institut, San Francisco and Kulturverwaltung des Landes, Berlin, DC’s Nine Strings (Gary Rouzer on Ned Steinberger bass-cello andelectronics, and Daniel Barbiero on double bass) and Sinking Loss - Software / Turntable / Radio collaboration of Scott Allison and Sam Day.
