 String Theory is the third single from MONOMONO/IIIOIIOIIIOIIO’s upcoming album Daughter of Data.

Opening with lush synths and strings, String Theory feels like wandering through the dreamlike logic of a video game.  Layered harmonies of acoustic string instruments — violin, ancient Greek lyre, and harp — create a rich, organic foundation with emotional depth.                A push and pull between screechy strings and very delicate bow movements results in an inescapable melodic groove that pumps up the heartbeat of the listener throughout the track, eliciting a bodily reaction to an overwhelming universe.

String Theory

MONOMONO/IIIOIIOIIIOIO crafts immersive sonic worlds where electro-acoustic textures, classical elements, and techno converge. The duo — violinist and sound designer Hester-1, and musician, composer, and visual artist Anne van de Star — blends raw, synthetic sound art with hypnotic rhythms, poetic fragments, and dark, pulsating walls of sound.

Their work moves fluidly between electronic composition, multimedia installations, and commissions for film, theatre, and video games. They have been artists in residence at TRIX (Antwerp, Belgium), Gold Records Studio (Copenhagen, Denmark), and Tiyatro İkincikat (Istanbul, Turkey). They recently performed at techno club Hall during Tallinn Music Week and at Playtime Festival in Bruges Royal Municipal Theatre
