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.
carsten nicolais practice investigates the boundaries between visual and audio art forms within an integrated artistic approach. influenced by scientific reference systems, nicolai often engages mathematical patterns such as grids and codes, as well as error, randomisation and self-organising structures.
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«.
>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.
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 einstü,,,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. 
,,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.
,,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.
