also known as Carsten Nicolai. he worked with many musicians - Ryoji Ikeda, Ryuchi Sakamoto ( known from soundtrack to Little Buddha ), Mika Vainio, etc. his musi is something between glitchy cilcks and fennesz field sounds. but its more minimal - Alva creeates whole patterns with these clicks, like there would be no other sound. this is how computer language could sound. i recommend it, if anyone is interested - look there are also some mp3's from different projects of Alva to listen. really really great musician, and great music. |

quite nice, i agree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed. The releases I like best are Transrapid, and the EP he did with Opiate. Vrioon is also very good. How gltchy ambient should sound like |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Raster Noton has an impressing number of releases BTW. They started up in 1999 or something? |

newest collab between Alva and Opiate : with some mp3's to listen. some history : Cartsen found an old MC with someone tryin to play on giutar recorded. he took the MC, remastered the sound from it to digital version, and asked Opiate if he can do something with it. they started to cut the sound fom the tape, they added some electronic clicks - and we have an album. plus - one of the tracks is original sound of MC with someone playin on guitar and singing, more than 10 minutes long. plus, the tape was originaly recorded in some woods, so besides electronics, you can hear sliced forrest sounds, birds, wind. cool |

oh no, they started yet in the early 90's - you can find all projects of Carsten listed on hisweb site- check the link i gave in my first post. actually, some of these projects are amazing. its more than just a music. |

2nd is indeed awesome, although i think i still prefer opto files...they're just great! |
||||||||
|

Found a record shop in Oslo, who had a lot of Raster Nonot-records in stock, and they have some of the most beutiful covers in electronic miusic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, these clips are awesome i havent heard the whole 2nd yet, but i think i wil llove it. |
||||||||
|

exactly, minimal artwork is so clear and pure.... i love these artworks, white covers, minimalistic geometry, weird track names. the same with other artists - ryoji ikeda for instance - guy ig also awesome, even more minimal that Alva Noto. i did a thread about him also. sadly, not too much ppl are interested in this music, maybe its too experimental ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think it's experimental really...it's just seems that people here don't like minimalistc stuff that much. well, it's their loss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i remember one track by Ryoji Ikeda, where you could hear only one sinusoid wave, but the wave was bumpin on the walls of the room , so in different places of the room you could hear different parts of these waves. excellent track. and a great idea. |

I should be adding Opto Files and Vrioon to my eBay auction this week. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my fave's are the collab with opiate, 'transform' and the 'vrioon' release. but i haven't heard everything yet.. what about artists like Yoshihiro hanno, tillman erhorn, ...? great stuff! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

"nibo. con.duct. spc.trm minimal digital sounds are transformed into images which are generated from the soundwaves. " Hmmm. Is this the same deal as in Track2 on Windowlicker |

carsten is tha man i just bought his transform album its brilliant one of the most groundbreaking composers in electronica today |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i didn't hear nobody do such stripped down electronic music. lotsa ppl think it's easy to so such genre,but i don't agree with that. he's really gone to the essence and i respect his work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i havent seen it there? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Samples sound good. whats a good album to start with? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think that collab "alva noto + ryuchi sakamoto" is the best start- you will hear the best from alva, but its not so harsh like the next ones. yeah, with this you will start in a subtle way or, if you wanna be rought at start - check his solo LP's, or check Ryoji Ikeda already - hes the biggest minimalist. |

Very nice stuff. I just got Transform - reminds me of some of the Pan Sonic and Radian I've been listening to lately. I think there's more going on in Alva Noto's brand of minimalism than there is in, say, Frank Bretschneider's. Which is to say, this stuff holds my attention better. |
||||||||

|
I didn't say 'it' was there, I said I should be adding them this week. |
||||||||

I just "found" this. I've seen it mentioned many times before, and when I saw it, I needed to check it out.. it's awesome! Only on the +Ryuichi Sakemoto collab yet, but I'm getting more! |
