Research

Co-operation with Composers

There is a long list of successful co-operations with international composers invited to projects in Hamburg: Anthony Braxton, dieb13, Phil Corner, Tim Hodkinson, Christian Wolff, Violeta Dinescu.

Use of Instruments

TonArt usually plays in an unusual chamber music instrumentation: violin, viola, cello, double bass, clarinet, trumpet, bass clarinet, saxophone or horn are each played with only one voice. In addition there are unusual instruments such as the Dan Bao, Banjo, Sheng, Dizi, Berimbao. A toy piano or melodica is often used instead of a piano. Small instruments such as the nose flute or harmonica are no more taboo than vuvuzela or shell horns. Some of the ensemble's musicians are constantly researching new techniques and instruments.
