Strings of Innovation

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.

The Duality Principle
Staying true to the Duality Strings concept, you can blend the lush, ambient sound of a full ensemble with the direct clarity of a chamber-sized group. Recorded simultaneously at Vienna Synchron Stage, the larger ensemble performed in the iconic Stage A, while the smaller group played in the drier Stage B. Both ensembles performed together, with the conductor on the podium in Stage A also directing the ensemble in Stage B via video monitors. Thanks to this unique setup, all musical aspects are flawlessly aligned. But what happens when this musical perfection meets creative chaos and otherworldly FX sounds? The result is a truly unique collection, where precision meets wild and untamed sounds to unlock new possibilities.
