The String Theory is an artist collective and orchestra based in Antibes, Berlin, Gothenburg and Los Angeles that since 2007 explores the outskirts of contemporary neo-classical music, electronica and wild pop by means of collaborative workshops, studio recordings and live performances.

The String Theory pursues a long term experimental approach, investigating new ways of interdisciplinary collaboration, incorporating visual art, developing new performance concepts and facilitating international artist networking.

Being essentially experimental in nature, The String Theory never stops questioning its own goals and sets out to regularly re-invent the way each separate project is conducted, and to further develop the unique sound of the ensemble.

The String Theory started out as an impromptu basement party in Berlin and developed in the course of a few years into a major multimedia project involving more than 140 musicians, artists, producers, journalists, dancers, designers, technicians, visual artists, a documentary film team, painters, sculptors and poets, culminating in sold-out shows throughout Europe and North America, highly acclaimed record releases and theater scores, educational workshops in India and uncountable new artistic collaborations.

Among the participating artists are: José González, Sekou Andrews, El Perro Del Mar, Wildbirds & Peacedrums, Sam Sparro, Tocotronic, Shana Halligan, Amanda Bergman (Jaw Lesson/Amason), vox, Robot Koch, Ebbot Lundberg (The Soundtrack of our Lives), Zaire Black, Addie Hamilton, Warren Suicide, Ja Ja Ne Ne, Pitchtuner, Laing, and Soffy O.

The planning group behind The String Theory project consists of PC Nackt and Ben Lauber (musical directors), Sebastian Gäbel (producer), Nathalie Barusta Gäbel (art director), Nils Tegen (arranger, composer), Chérie (visual art producer), Malte Hagemeister (producer) and Kristian Nord (producer).
