Nothing New is ultimately an experimental endeavour. For now, it could basically be labelled as a kind of ambient/ambivalent (world) noise music meets GrainField, a web-based application used to network the audience’s smartphones via Wi-Fi, turning them into speakers as well as instruments, and turning the audience into active participants and in a sense co-creators of the live experience. GrainField was designed by Benjamin Matuszewski and Norbert Schnell as part of the CoSiMa research project developed at the IRCAM, Centre Pompidou Paris.
