Literal Translation: Tonsymbolik = sound symbolism. The term refers to the apparent association between particular sound sequences and particular meanings for example in speech or music. 

Tonsymbolik is a collective from Frankfurt founded back in the summer of 2016. The aim of the collective is to provide another creative platform for motivated musicians, artists, producers and DJs. Furthermore we're trying to offer advanced synergies due to better opportunities of networking. For example, throughout the exchange of music, equipment, contacts, experience, and the organisation of cooperative events and productions.

The collective also tries to combine fine arts more and more with electronic music by working with visual- / street- / experimental-artists, VJs and room concepts to ensure a both auditive and visual experience. For example all designs and event posters are made by Frankfurt artist IRO.

All members are clearly positioning themselves against right-wing incitement, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, violence and any other form of discrimination. We always try to create a space at our events, in which every person can feel safe. Help us to achieve that, take care of each other and always remember: 

musica es vida ❤
