ein ungewöhnliches, poetisches hörerlebnis: der godfather of punk liest walt whitman.
walt whitman (1819-1892) gilt als einer der einflussreichsten lyriker des 19. jahrhunderts. sein gedichtband *leaves of grass* wurde einst wegen anstößigkeit verboten. schuld war der darin enthaltene gedichtzyklus *children of adam*. und genau den las 2014 iggy pop zusammen mit einer reihe namhafter deutscher schauspieler wie unter anderem birgit minichmayr, marianne sägebrecht, alexander fehling und martin wuttke als zweisprachiges hörspiel ein. die musik dazu besorgten tarwater und alva noto. das berliner label morr veröffentlicht sieben der gedichte im amerikanischen original als ep versionen auf vinyl. bei diesen stücken handelt es sich um reine spoken word performances von iggy pop mit musikalischer begleitung von tarwater und alva noto.

after a break of 5 years, alva noto continues his xerrox series with »xerrox vol. 3«, entitled »towards space«, a journey that started with »xerrox vol. 1«, referring to the »old world«, and »xerrox vol. 2«, heading »to the new world«.

after a break of 5 years, alva noto continues his xerrox series with >xerrox vol. 3<

>univrs< follows on from and develops the concept of the album unitxt (raster-noton, 2008). whereas the focus of unitxt was on the processing of rhythmic patterns (unit = unit of measurement, element) and information (txt = data, language), with univrs the focus is on the conceptual differentiation of a universal language (universum/universal = unity, entirety). the 14 tracks of univrs have evolved from a live context, hence the approach is more continuous and dense.

on monday, 30th may 2011, raster-noton. archiv für ton und nichtton will release alva noto + ryuichi sakamoto s latest album summvs, the outcome of an unusual creative partnership between the oscar-prize honored film composer ryuichi sakamoto and the fine artist and electronic music pioneer carsten nicolai. the new album will host its world premiere on may 12th, 2011 at the roundhouse in london and will be followed by a european tour called s in may/june 2011 with stations in rome, padua, graz, copenhagen, brussels, eindhoven, paris, frankfurt, bonn, berlin, leipzig and barcelona. the name of the artists fifth collaborative album summvs triggers several associations. the title literally combines the latin word summa (engl.: sum) and versus (vs., engl.: opposite), stressing the collaborative idea behind the joint venture of these two exceptional artists, yet stressing their individual potentials. the initials of the five albums – vrioon, insen, revep, utp_ and now summvs – together form the word virus , concluding the series with a final infectuous twist.

xerrox vol. 2 undertakes an intense journey and affords the luxury to take its time.

for its ten tracks the album will readopt two original tracks and two alternative versions from the ep while additionally introducing six completely new songs. as a very special feature >katze< and >mimikry< will feature vocals/words by the model veruschka (known from the movie >blow up< by m. antonioni). the album will be released with a special 16 page booklet that will present original text/drawings of blixa bargeld that developed during the recordings.

being friends and admirers of each others work for a long time, electronic music composer / visual artist alva noto (carsten nicolai) and composer / voice- artist blixa bargeld (also known as singer of einstu&#776,,,rzende neubauten and guitarist of nick cave and the bad seeds) decided to join forces to initiate a collaborative project in 2007.

xerrox vol. 2 undertakes an intense journey and affords the luxury to take its time. &#8233,,while xerrox vol. 1 (r-n 78) referred to the old world with its tradition deeply rooted in classical music, xerrox vol. 2 tries to access a new world . it works with samples that have been gathered and developed in the usa û the so-called new world û where the album also has almost completely been recorded.&#8233,,the dramatic and dynamic approach of xerrox vol. 1 on vol. 2 has been replaced by a structural density. instead of working with individual musical entities the new album rather develops an overall, linear aesthetic that refers to musical strategies of film music. hence there are no implicitly singular pieces, but open musical structures û a journey without a predetermined target.

nach beendigung des >transall< zyklus & der veröffentlichung der >xerrox< serie nähert sich alva noto seiner früheren rhythmischeren arbeit an. >unitxt< könnte eine fortsetzung seiner >transspray< arbeit sein und erinnert in seiner radikalität und die 90er werke von pan sonic

alva noto aka carsten nikolai zeigt uns das weisse rauschen der reproduktion & nimmt das kopieren als kreatives tool wahr. theoretisch, aber nicht trocken

carsten nicolai aka alva noto + ryuichi sakamoto treiben ihr projekt weiter an. nach >vrioon< und >insen< wird mit >revep< nun weiter an der akustisch - elektronischen schnittstelle gerabeitet

dj-kicks has tapped up life and death label founder dj tennis for the next instalment in its long running and landmark series, which is due for release on 14th july. the italian is the first artist to ever be granted not one but two discs across which to showcases his style, and he doesn’t disappoint.

exzellente remixes von zwei der feinsten acts der elektronischen musik, alva noto und plaid, für monkeytowns jungtalent gajek. während carsten nicolai aka alva noto das verspielte *restless water shapes* in einen steinkalten düsteren bassline-roller mutieren lässt, zaubern plaid mit euphorisch strahlender electronica ein lächeln in alle ecken unserer gesichter hinein. diese maxi wirkt wie eine hypermoderne clubnacht komprimiert auf 2 tracks.

ein jahr nach der veröffentlichung der >extra playful ep<, erscheint am 27. april ein spannendes re-interpretationspaket der klang-visionäre actress, maria minerva, tim hecker, alva noto and leyland kirby. die 5 track ep glänzt mit einem aussergewöhnlichen 2021-future design von satomi und besticht zusätzlich durch ein heavyweight white vinyl! tipp!

pop ambient returns. kompakts beloved series. this is our other arena of bliss, always curated and carefully compiled by label co-owner wolfgang voigt (aka gas). somber times call for more introspective sound scapes - >pop ambient 2011< continues its mission to slowly persuade its signature sound introduced over a decade ago. this year we see the series leaning towards a slightly darker complexion than its predecessors.
