Since 2012 the collective's orchestra goes by the name The String Theory and has performed live with Swedish-Argentinian artist José González during a number of European and North American tours.

The idea of The String Theory was born in Berlin, Germany in 2006 and developed by the musician/artist couple PC Nackt and Chérie of the band Warren Suicide, composers Ben Lauber and Nils Tegen, Party Arty curator Jan Kage and Artist Beatbox Eliot among others.

Based on an idea of experimental musical development and grassroots networking outside the existing business structures, The Berlin String Theory was founded, starting out as an impromptu basement event of close friends performing their songs with a string quartet instead of electric guitars and computers, yet in the course of a couple of months developing into a high-output workshop and a major multimedia project involving more than 100 musicians, artists, producers, journalists, designers, technicians, visual artists, a documentary film team, painters and poets, culminating in a show at Berlin's Volksbühne theater on New Year's Day 2008.

José González, Midaircondo, Wildbirds & Peacedrums, Studio, Jaqee, Amanda Bergman aka Jaw Lesson, Silverbullit, El Perro Del Mar, Fox Machine, Ebbot Lundberg (The Soundtrack of Our Lives), Bow & Arrow and Jmy Haze were among those who made The Göteborg String Theory happen in June 2009.

The concert was broadcast live on Swedish National Radio and gained critical acclaim, in comparisons with Krzysztof Penderecki, Arnold Schönberg and Nico Muhly.
