Three Nights of Nothing – celebrating 20 years of The International Nothing

The International Nothing – Berlin’s finest duo force in psycho-acoustic clarinet pleasures – is celebrating its 20^th anniversary and invites you to a three-part retrospective. In the course of three full-album performances they will take you on a trip through the evolution of their sound. For each night they invited marvelous guests all the way from Amsterdam, Paris, Vienna, Sistrans and Berlin to present works that explore and define unique sonic territories. The unexpected connections and stimulating contrasts to the music of The Nothin’ are highly intended.
