N-046 - ALVA NOTO & RYUICHI SAKAMOTO - TWO (LIVE AT SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE) RELEASE DATE: NOVEMBER 15TH, 2019
Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai) & Ryuichi Sakamoto have been playing together
for many years now - their first collaborative LP, Vrioon, dates from 2002. The
duo’s new album Two acts as a celebration of Noto & Sakamoto’s artistic
legacy - both of their previous work and also of the musical understanding that
they have built up down the years.
The pair’s 2018 concert at the Sydney Opera House forms the basis of this
record (not the whole thing, mind - their performance ran to two hours and had
to be edited down). Across the performance they run through several cuts from
their extensive back catalogue. These old cuts come retooled for a new context,
and it’s enjoyable to contrast the changes in sound - ‘Trioon II’, for instance,
morphs from bleeping ambience into a micro-house loop reminiscent of Jan
Jelinek. Most exciting of all is their portentous, brooding take on their theme
for The Revenant, here given all the moodiness of a Ben Frost piece.
Around half of the record is made up of work that was improvised on the day.
The new pieces are generally obtuse electronic things that reference the likes
of Oval, Mika Vainio and Karlheinz Stockhausen. They are also rather spare -
rather than crowding their textures, Sakamoto & Noto allow certain sounds to
linger, something which indicates two artists wholly confident in their creative
relationship.
Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Two is part-new work, part-retrospective
and wholly impressive.
from upcoming album "Celestial Birds", a compilation of electronic pieces by jazz pianist and AACM founding member MUHAL RICHARD ABRAMS. LP / DL out in feb 2020
. . . After many collaborations this new record by Anne-James Chaton and
Carsten Nicolai aka Alva Noto speaks a new language, generated by the
fusion of objective poetry and minimal music. From the dialogue of the
graph and the glitch a poetics of the code is born from which arises a
representation of the contemporary world.
Release date: 15 November 2019
