Kabel by Frank Niehusmann & Hainer Wörmann

Hainer Wörmann, an improvising guitarist, invents and develops advanced playing techniques with a focus on mechanical preparations. As playing materials he uses violin bows, brushes, small motors, plastic forks, quark boxes, polystyrene, paper, biscuit boxes, tubes, stones and others. Wörmann prefers to play defined, short tones and noises that do not linger. This is in line with Frank Niehusmann’s style of playing, which among computer players is special in so far as he prefers short tones and fast actions. He has developed his material from digital DJ techniques and electronic drums using his own software. His sounds often reveal his origins in the Ruhr industrial area. The result is an airy overall sound, which allows fast turns during the playing process at any time.

Founded by Dieter Schlensog, NurNichtNur soon became a large underground label for sound art releases. Based in Kleve, Germany, the majority of its releases are experimental solo projects. Since they often transcend the realm of traditional “music”, they are considered Experimental Sound Productions.
