Being friends and admires of ech other´s work for a long time, electronic music composer and visual artist Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai) and composer and voice-artist Blixa Bargeld (also known as singer of Einstürzende Neubauten) decided to join forces to initiate a collaborative project in 2001
Together they developed a musical concept based on the combination of
improvisation and abstraction. The impulsive live performance of Blixa
Bargeld and the elaborated Beat structures and sound landscapes of Alva
Noto merge to a suprising and unexpected result. Working on their own
exerimental material that gains its strengh from the spontaneity of the
live-performance of Bargeld´s voice as well as rethinking traditional
songs in their own special manner, they deliver an outstanding and
inspiring musical blend for their audience.
The collaboration
first staged in September 2007 when they united for a special appearance
in San Francisco to perfom at Recominat Media Labs Studios. Since then
they have recorded several tracks that form the base of their live
performance and are planned to be released and toured in the near
future.
