The International Nothing is a clarinet duo based in Berlin, formed by Michael Thieke and Kai Fagaschinski in 2000. Together they compose layered sound sculptures whose musical language is built on multiphonics, beat frequencies, and difference tones. Although both are well known as improvisers, in this duo they perform composed pieces developed and refined together over long periods. Since their debut album Mainstream on the Japanese label Ftarri in 2006, they have released a new album roughly every four years, most recently Just None of Those Things in 2022. The duo has performed throughout Europe as well as in North and South America.

Werner Durand, born in Karlsruhe and based in Berlin, is a composer, performer, and instrument builder. Since the late 1970s he has performed his own music for saxophones, Iranian ney, and self-built wind instruments. He studied with Ariel Kalma in Paris, Indian classical music with Kamalesh Maitra, and Iranian ney with Ali Reza Asgharia. In the early 1980s he began building wind instruments from plexiglass and PVC, which led to the founding of The Thirteenth Tribe in 1990, and he was a member of Arnold Dreyblatt’s Orchestra of Excited Strings from 1990 to 1997. He is known for long-running projects with Dhrupad singer Amelia Cuni and the group Tonaliens with Robin Hayward and Hilary Jeffery, with recordings on labels such as Black Truffle and Unseen Worlds. Recent releases include collaborations with Sam Ashley and with David Behrman and Jon Gibson.

Werner Dafeldecker, born in 1964 in Vienna and based in Berlin, is a double bassist, composer, and sound artist. His work moves between improvised and composed music, often following reductive principles built on concentrated material subjected to subtle transformations. He also works intensively with field recording, has built an extensive sound archive, and has created several works for radio. He co-founded the ensemble Polwechsel and founded the label Durian Records in 1995. His work has been presented at venues and festivals including Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik, MaerzMusik, Wien Modern, and the Centre Pompidou.

Régis Lemberthe is a sound artist and designer based in Berlin. Their practice centres on building setups that generate noise, which they then install or perform. Their early work consisted of sound sculptures conceived in resonance with physical installations, including Glass Nest, a large structure in which melting ice triggered resonances and electroacoustic signals, leading to collaborations with Analytical Engine, DFVOKKLL, and Uchi. Since 2015 they have run Noiseberg in Berlin, a series of experimental sound sessions that has grown to over 100 events and four festivals, hosting more than 500 artists from around the world. Their later work uses creative coding to sonify natural and mathematical phenomena in real time, from electromagnetic feedback and Lissajous curves to bouncing marbles and bristlebot swarms. Their current no-input project, Noisette, turns the movement of electrons in simple machinery into deep, textured, at times rhythmic noise.
