Alva Noto - HYbr:ID II

Next opus is being release on october 13 !

HYbr:ID Vol. 2 is the second installment of Alva Noto’s HYbr:ID series initiated in 2021.

The new album captures the music commissioned to score Richard Siegal’s Ectopia performed in 2021 by Tanztheater Pina Bausch with Shooting into the Corner (2008-09) by Anish Kapoor.

Building upon the blend of immersive dub and electronica from the first installment, HYbr:ID Vol. 2 takes the listener on a journey into the realm of intricately manipulated digital production. These ten compositions delve into infinity, drawing inspiration from resonance and elasticity, concepts rooted in Minkowski’s four-dimensional spacetime model.

Throughout the album, Carsten Nicolai summons precise rhythmic patterns that gracefully hover, reminiscent of celestial bodies orbiting in perfect cosmic unison. The sonic landscape gradually unfolds with somber and brooding tones, incorporating spacious sound design, ethereal atmospheres, and cascading metallic percussions. These elements are delicately crafted with artistic finesse, set against a backdrop of expansive dub textures. At times, the music takes unforeseen turns, as melancholic chords skitter and meander through a digital haze, evoking an atmosphere of introspection and emotion. The ten compositions are accompanied by graphic notations informed by the album’s sonic and acoustic codes.

Hell yeah.

The last 2 soundtracks on Noton have been great. 

Great news!

Looking forward to this. The first volume was maybe my favorite of his recent work. Seems like he's been quite productive lately.

YES

Check Unieqav. That is a killer album, almost every track hits the spot. For me it's easy his best album (others are quite patchy). It never leaves my album selection on my Spotify page, whereas most favourite LPs repeatedly come and go, that stays right where it is.
