Alva Noto
's (
Carsten Nicolai
)
Univrs
follows on from and develops the concept of the album
Unitxt
(R-N 095CD/LP). Whereas the focus of
Unitxt
was on the processing of rhythmic patterns ("unit" = unit of measurement, element) and information ("txt" = data, language), with
Univrs
the focus is on the conceptual differentiation of a universal language ("universum/universal" = unity, entirety). The 14 tracks on
Univrs
have evolved from a live context, hence, the approach is more continuous and dense. For the track "Uni Acronym," Alva Noto works again with the French vocal artist
Anne-James Chaton
. The track is based on a number of 208 three-letter acronyms (set in alphabetical order), creating a random narrative. The audio-visual performance of
Univrs
is based on the real-time manipulation of software-generated test images by audio signals. A customized hardware box triggers the video signal according to the value of the audio signal. The resulting color patterns change constantly without repetition. The visualization of
Univrs
(Uniscope Version) -- an expanded screen projection setup -- on a digital level combines a variety of modules demonstrating different methods of audio analyzing. The resultant signal processing is shown as a relay structure and is performed in real-time. Each module can be zoomed in on the expanded screen, enabling greater visual detail. The
Univrs
(Uniscope Version) was developed with the Touchdesigner software in close cooperation with Derivative in Toronto, Canada. Alva Noto would like to thank Anne-James Chaton for his on-going inspiration,
Martin L. Gore
for providing a sample for the track "Uni Rec," and
Daniel Miller
for advice and support. The album was mastered by
Rashad Becker
at Clunk, Berlin.
