Carsten Nicolai released his first Alva Noto album in quite some time earlier this year. 'Xerrox' - available now on Rater Noton - is a truly beautiful album well worth picking up. Theres no shortage of his other work available to watch online though - a nice starting point is the animation 'Spray' which deals with "the problematics of speed , the vision of utopia and the dissolution of our ideas into fragments ...speed of data-flow is equivalent to the speed of our time. in an era when virtual products of our ideas are expanding , we are simultaneously positioning a calm point in which to settle ourselves"
However, since the landmark release of 'Vrioon', his first album in collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto of Yellow Magic Orchestra fame its been hard to separate the two names. Check out this clip - 'Berlin' from 'Insen' - their second album together to see what all the fuss is about!
