No Means No (2019), for fixed sounds

Performed by The Interstring Project (DE) at Crossroads - International New Music Festival Salzburg 2019.
"While I was interested in an astrophysical phenomena of a Wormhole, a speculative structure which
could connect different regions of space and time, the following idea occurred: often our thoughts
get trapped into wormholes and we are not anymore here, in a given moment. We travel to the
future or the past inside our minds, and those wormholes bring us either to our memories or future
dreams - thus the wormholes connect different moments of life.
Musically, the idea is expressed by a time-warp of rhythmical structures."

iPhone Ensemble is a Performance-Lecture focused on the tendency and phenomenon of Neue Musik. The New Music-field can be seen as an independent genre that relies on definite characteristics and stereotypes. And as in any genre; stereotypes can be sampled.
By creating a feedback-loop of it’s own existence, iPhone Ensemble is a literal and adaptive guide - for the performing ensemble - to create endless (new) music based on stereotypes. In thus creating every technical well-made piece of Neue Musik, possible.
written for The Interstring Project. Premiered at Crossroads International Contemporary Music Festival 2019.

The INTERSTRING SOUND LIBRARY is a collection of extended guitar sounds, an ongoing project of documenting the sonic possibilities of all kinds of (plucked) string instruments, both for TIP to use in their own music and for other guitarists, composers or music enthusiasts to get inspired.

If you want to use the sounds for your own project, add something to the library from yourself or to suggest an idea for a collaboration including the INTERSTRING SOUND LIBRARY, feel free to reach out to TIP.
