on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the city of
mannheim alva noto (carsten nicolai) and ryuichi sakamoto were
invited to develop an audio-visual performance together with
ensemble modern. the concept of the arising piece named utp_ is
derived from the rasterized structure of mannheim (build as an
ideal city in the 17th century) and also paying reference to
the musical history of the city.
the result of the collaboration like the former projects of
alva noto and ryuichi sakamoto - vrioon (2002, r-n 50), insen
(2005, r-n 65) and revep (2005, r-n 72) - is a synergetic
mixture of electronic and natural sounds, that is expanded by
the potential of the classical instruments of ensemble modern.
utp_, the title of the new composition is deduced from the term
utopia and hence describes an approach that leaves space for
further extensive associations.
the release consists of an audio cd, a dvd, a full colour
booklet and the score. the dvd contains the utp_ concert movie
and a utp_ "try-out" to document both the developing process of
the piece and the final result.
