Vrioon

About

During his first live tour in Japan, Carsten Nicolai met Ryuichi Sakamoto in Tokyo. A year after it happened that he was asked to remix material from Sakamoto for the Japanese magazine Code Unfinished. “… the material that was given to me was already layered with digital effect. From one little clean piano piece I made the first track. Those simple piano chords I combined with a clear rhythm constellation. … somehow Ryuichi was very surprised and really liked my work. Weeks later he sent me another specially for this project recorded track.” This was the beginning of an almost two year process of music exchange and creation. "Vrioon" is very relaxing, it opens room, landscapes blur before listeners eye. Static rhythmic pieces circle round and vary one and the same theme that, with its impressionistic sphere, reminds of soundtracks and ambient composition. .
