fⁿr ton und nichtton releases alva noto
and ryuichi sakamotoÆs album summvs, the
latest result of the unusual creative
partnership between the oscar-prize
honored film composer ryuichi sakamoto
and the fine artist and electronic music
pioneer carsten nicolai.
the name of the artistsÆ fifth
collaborative release summvs refers to
the latin word æsummaÆ (engl.: sum) and
æversusÆ (engl.: towards) serving as a
metaphor for the work being oriented
towards a collarorative whole. summvs is
the last of a series of five releases
that started with vrioon in 2002 and
continued with insen (2005), revep
(2005) and utp_ (2007).
passages of sparse yet emotionally
charged and passionate piano solos are
embedded in sine waves or reworked to
establish new aesthetics of piano sound.
sparse percussions and throbbing bass
pulses hover above and below û the music
being contemplative and minimal at the
same time.
the tracks microon I-III contain
recordings of one of the 15 pianos using
a 16th tone interval tuning built by
sauter, spaichingen/donaueschingen,
germany. the original æpiano
metamorfoseador en dieciseisavos de
tonoÆ was designed by julißn carrillo
trujillo. thanks to the music department
of berne university of the arts for
making this instrument available.
included in the album are two cover
versions of the track æby this riverÆ
originally written by roedelius, moebius
and brian eno in 1977. in their
instrumental versions of the song
nicolai and sakamoto create and
investigate the songÆs appeal in both
normal speed and slow motion.
the new album will host its world live
premiere on may 12th, 2011 at the
roundhouse in london, uk and will be
followed by a european tour in may/june
2011 with stopovers in milan, perugia,
rome, parma, brussels, eindhoven,
leipzig, copenhagen, frankfurt, berlin,
and barcelona. ryuichi sakamoto on piano
and alva noto on electronics will
present their fifth collaborative
release with a unique style
visualisation and an state-of-the-art
technical setting and stage design.
