The title of the performance is
derived from the english expression no
strings attached, which means: Doing something for someone without asking
for anything in return.
A large space, supported by
columns. During the performance, strings are woven between the columnes,
horizontally, vertically, diagonally, in all possible directions. The strings also
produce sound, gentle, pulsating, growling, thundering, amplified through attached
contact microphones. Gradually the whole space becomes one extended instrument.
The movements of building it simultaneously translate into its sound.

hans w. koch (cologne), is active as composer, performer and
soundartist. he considers art sculpting thoughts in different materials and
personally favours conceptual approaches: more thought, less material. exploring
(de)faults of soft- and hardware results in the use of computers as musical
instruments in a rather physical manner. his works have been commissioned by
and presented at numerous festivals and occasions both nationally and
internationally. in 2008 his piece "the benchmark consort" won an
award of distinction at the ars electronica festival in linz/austria. during
spring semester 2007 he was teaching composition and experimental sound
practices as visiting professor at the california institute of the arts, los
angeles. since 2012 he teaches hybrid sound composition at the institute for
