About
On May 9th, 2011, Raster-Noton released Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto’s 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 artists' fifth collaborative release refers to the Latin word ‘summa’ (engl. 'sum') and ‘versus’ (engl. 'towards'), serving as a metaphor for the work being oriented towards a collaborative 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 – the music being contemplative and minimal at the same time. .
