Pioneer of electronica and visual art joins forces with Europe's pre-eminent contemporary music ensemble for a unique audio-visual experience.

German composer Carsten Nicolai (aka Alva Noto) has long been an artist at the vanguard of electronic music and visual art. He's collaborated with the likes of Ryuichi Sakamoto (with whom he wrote the soundtrack to The Revenant), Michael Nyman, Blixa Bargeld, and Iggy Pop, as well as creating remixes for Bjork and John Cale. His solo work comprises some of the most sophisticated electronica of recent times, as evidenced in Xerrox – Vol. 4, the 2020 composition which he will be performing at Prague Sounds with Europe's best-known contemporary music orchestra, Ensemble Modern. 

'[Ensemble Modern] are peerless contemporary specialists.'
Guardian

Xerrox – Vol. 4 is the latest (and penultimate) entry in a a five-volume series that began in 2007, and has seen Alva Noto experiment with ideas of digital repetition of source material and the manipulation of audio fragments. This latest volume is perhaps more accessible than its predecessors, and comprises fourteen pieces that create an ambient harmonic flow of layered electronic sound textures, warm strings and delicate piano parts punctuated by deep bass. 'To me, the Xerrox series is a kind of journey,' says Nicolai, and this has never been more apparent than in this latest incarnation, in all its spellbinding, hypnotic beauty.
