A rare DJ mix from one of electronic music's chief practitioners. Alva Noto is a pseudonym of German sound/visual artist Carsten Nicolai. It's difficult to bring into focus the breadth of Nicolai's achievements in the various disciplines he's been involved with since the early '90s, but he is perhaps most well-known in music circles as a co-founder of the groundbreaking Raster-Noton imprint, and his collaborative work with Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto. The pair has proffered several full-length pieces through Raster-Noton in the past decade, and Nicolai has been no less prolific elsewhere, releasing around ten albums over that [...]

Si tarrà da domani, 21 luglio a sabato 23, Presso la Mole Vanvitelliana di Ancona si terrà la sesta edizione del festival di musica ed arte elettronica Acusmatiq , organizzato dall'Arci di Ancona con la Provincia ed il Comune di Ancona. La sesta edizione di Acusmatiq, attraverso una serie di performances di livello internazionale, prosegue l'esplorazione dei rapporti tra la produzione musicale e la tecnologia, analogica e digitale e con uno sguardo sempre attento al rapporto tra la pratica strumentale e performativa e l'elettronica nelle diverse forme dettate dalla sensibilità contemporanea. Di particolare rilievo la [...]
Here's something from the hermetically sealed world of minimal electronica artist Alva Noto, alias Carsten Nicolai. Xerrox Teion Acat comes from his 2009 album Xerrox Vol. 2 . With Noto, the impression is sometimes given that you should be able to work out exactly what each of the tracks sounds like from the title alone. Oh, Noto will tell you otherwise, that this is all about the performance and not the theory, but frankly I don't trust him. I think he's got some sort of system here. So what Xerrox Teion [...]
Dans la catégorie des collaborations qui génèrent les fantasmes les plus extrêmes, ANBB est plutôt bien placée. D'un côté, Alva Noto/Carsten Nicolai, tête de file de l'électro expérimentale toutes catégories confondues depuis environ treize ans, est bien connu pour son approche conceptuelle et mathématique qu'il a déclinée en musique comme en arts plastiques, et qu'il a insufflée dans toutes les productions de son label/laboratoire Raster Noton. De l'autre, Blixa Bargeld, figure culte et théâtrale de la musique industrielle, a fêté il y a peu à la Cité de la Musique les 30 [...]
Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto - By The River In the economy, regardless of recessions and booms and their respective intensities, there is said to be a 'trend growth rate'. This means that although the growth rate of an economy in the short term may seem to be extremely topsy-turvy and unstable, there is an underlying positive gradient to the growth rate and it becomes apparent in the long-term. something like this (imagining the non-existent x-axis to represent time): Governments try to decrease the [...]
Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto — Halo Whether or not you're versed in the work of German knob-twiddler Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai) or Japanese pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto , you'll likely find a whole lot to love about Summvs , their fifth (and possibly best) collaborative LP for Nicolai's own Raster Norton . The record finds the duo bridging the gap between organic and digital by fusing Sakamoto's delicate strains of piano with Noto's mechanical chatter. Although [...]
The chimeric Raster-Noton label was formed in 1999 when Rastermusic, founded by Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider, merged with Carsten Nicolai's Noton.archiv für ton und nichtton. In a recent interview for this very website, Nicolai attributed the label's success over the years to the consistency of their aesthetic. And it is true, the label has become deservedly well known for its consistently innovative minimalist electronica. However, as oxymoronic as it sounds, there is a lot going on within their particular brand of minimalism. For one thing, there is a world of difference between the spindly rhythmic lattices of [...]
All this sunny weather and an endless torrent of work has left updates a little scarce over the past few weeks, but I'm sure you can forgive me because you're probably out there enjoying life, drinking mojitos and carelessly frolicking in meadows. Even if you're not...well, maybe you should read a good book and chill out instead of crying and banging your head against the keyboard like a fleshy, irate hammer. My tardiness and your emotional problems aside, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto have once again teamed up to release their fifth and possibly final collaborative album, a fact that [...]

Through their four collaborative projects to date, the German experimental artist Carsten Nicolai, operating under his Alva Noto pseudonym, and the Japanese pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto, have explored the space between the acoustic and the electronic, and between music and noise. In doing so, they have not just invented a language, but continued to refine its grammar and syntax. After their last release _utp saw them expanding their tonal palette, by working with Frankfurt's Ensemble Modern, they have pared the sound back to its basic elements for their new piece S . In advance of its premiere at [...]
2 + 2 non sempre fa 4. L'appuntamento al Teatro Regio di Parma è sicuramente di quelli da non perdere visto che si tratta della prima esibizione live in Italia da parte del duo (collaborazione attiva dal 2007) dopo l'uscita, nell'ottobre scorso, del loro album "Mimikry". La location è sicuramente prestigiosa e suggestiva visto che il palcoscenico in questione in passato è stato calcato tra gli altri, da artisti del calibro di Maria Callas o José Carreras e viene considerato uno dei teatri d'opera più prestigiosi d'Italia. Platea e palchi sono [...]
