Ryuchi Sakamoto / Alva Noto

23 Sept. Pioneers in their own respective musical fields, Carsten Nicolai (aka Alva Noto) and Ryuichi Sakamoto began their exploration of sound and visual arts, evocatively titled the Virus Series, in 2002. Sakamoto's haunting piano-based arrangements merge with Nicolai's digital rhythms and accompaniment, creating a work of musical art that is as provocative as it is meditative.
