WISSEL&NIES
Corpus callosum

Georg Wissel, (prepared) saxophones a.o.
Joker Nies, custom made electronic instruments

The interactive and diffusing genesis of sound is one of   WISSEL&NIES' trademarks. But even more than this, the ability of changing roles by adopting different attitudes in their playing is a very special characteristic in the collaboration of these two musicians.

Due to a kind of an invisible corpus callosum
both, Wissel and Nies, are capable to produce sounds referring as well to pure frequency and sound structures, as to a communicative and narrative approach including bizar melodies. 

Clichés relating on the 'emotional' or 'technical' character of their instruments are getting obsolete.




GEORG WISSEL , Improviser, Composer, Sculptor of compressed air 
Inspired by his collaboration with electronic musicians, he began also (beside working on instrumental playing-technics) searching for new sounds by preparations, which by the time has become an integral part of his playing. 
He is working solo, or in ensembles/projects along with exponents in Improvised music like Liz Allbee, Paul Lytton, Malcolm Goldstein, Gunda Gottschalk, Matthew Goodheart, Lou Grassi, Carl Ludwig Hübsch, Erhart Hirt, Tim Perkis, Melvyn Poore…, performing on festivals in Europe and Overseas.
Furthermore, like as a negative/counterpart to improvisation, he concernes himself in composition, whereas dealing with the subject of geography and geometry is an important point of his interest.

JOKER NIES 
is a musician, sound-designer, sound-engineer, and technical editor for the German Sound&Recording magazine.
Modifying the Omnichord became his initiation to what is known as circuit-bending. 
Since that time a steadily growing number of devices  has been converted from simple toys into alien sound devices.
Joker Nies performed on festivals all over Europe, USA and Mexico, with artists like John Butcher, Ernst Reijsinger, Thomas Lehn, Alan Silva, Dave Tucker, Seth Josel, Hans Tammen, Mario de Vega, Gino  
Robair and many others.

WISSEL&NIES
electro-acoustic meeting
 
Georg Wissel (prepared) saxophones
Joker Nies div. electronic instruments
 
Wissel und Nies kennen sich seit den 90er Jahren aus der gemeinsamen Arbeit in verschiedenen großen Ensembles.

Joker Nies’ Sounds und Spielweise waren eine der Anregungen für die Entwicklung von Wissels Klangmodulationen des Saxophons via Präparationen.

So ist es nur logisch, daß die beiden nun - sich Ohr in Ohr gegenüber - ihre Klangwelten  zusammenfügen.

„Eine Spezialität dieses Duos ist sicherlich die, daß über das sich aufeinander Einstellen mit ihrer Klangvielfalt hinaus , beide Spieler auch mit wechselnden Spielhaltungen die Rollen tauschen.“ ...deklamiert das Omnichord, während das Saxophon den Klang knackender Potis erforscht...
