Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto(坂本龍一) is a collaboration project between the German minimal artist Carsten Nicolai and the famous Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto. In this co-operation two different generations meet and share the idea of electronic music as an inspiration source for new musical structures. Alva Noto processes the sounds from Sakamoto's piano, creating a mixture of solo piano and glitchy micro electronic sounds.

"Vrioon" (album, 2002) "Insen" (album, 2005) "Revep" (EP, 2006) "Insen Live" (DVD, 2006) "UTP_" (DVD, 2009) "Summvs" (album, 2011)
