Concept and Idea
 

To date, ten different musicians have each produced special compositions which serve as the basic music building kits of instant city.
The repertoire and compositions can and will be continually renewed/ replenished. In order to give players a wide choice of compositions, we asked musicians working with very different kinds of music to create the first <music building kits>.
But inviting different musicians and composers not only served to provide for a variety of music, but also of diverse strategies in dealing with this “instrument”; while one composition appears to be repeatable, another is never the same; one aims to engage chance, while still another tries to avoid it; here diversity, there simplicity.

The compositions varies between sound collages with text fragments and minimal music, that what’s You hear is not comparable to a normal linear song, but a modular influenced soundscape
The clang/sound of such music building kits is thereby mainly dependent on the sound files/tones with which the composers “feed” the <instant city> software. These sound files can naturally be produced in the most various of ways, with which methods/programs (recording, synthesizers, sampler, software, etc.) were always and exclusively imported in “instant.tool” or the sound?s can be done with the software „instant.tool’s“  own soundgenerators .

The software itself contains no prefabricated sounds whatsoever.
