Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto (Germany and Japan)

Wednesday, October 18, 2006 20:00     Mount Fortress     Free admission

Carsten Nicolai aka Alva noto, Electronics & Visual Concept
Ryuichi Sakamoto, Piano

The piano of Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto weaves an elegant and minimalist fabric of sound. Under his European microscope, Carsten Nicolai aka Alva Noto analyses these acoustic fibres, adding images for both intellect and senses. This union of cultures and generations in the mode of insen began in 2002 with the album vrioon, the result of a long-distance conversation. From the impressionist dialogues that sold out venues all over Europe, a new musical structure was born and persists today in the recent EP entitled revep. The next lounge experiment of these musical scientists makes Macau their immense laboratory of ideas.
