Forced to come up with music they could play together without annoying the neighbors, they started experimenting with an old PCM drum machine,live bass and keyboards. They went through several names, performing sporadically between 1997 and 1999 as Shiznaus, Joachim and the Professor, and Onna Tarashi, and finally playing their first show as String Theory in July 2000.
String Theory's music comes across as a reflection of the dynamic personalities at work behind the scenes: both perfectionist and playful, simultaneously mechanized and emotionally-evocative. They describe their work in a quintissentially technical manner, saying it "contains (but is not limited to) percussive sounds arranged in a rhythmic manner with tonal sounds of synthetic and/or acoustic origin occurring simultaneously and/or in a specific order which was dictated to various machines." In non-geekspeak that translates to "melodies woven from percussive samples overlayed with harmonies from digital sources as well as real instruments."
