_DE
HYBR:ID PARA PARA is Alva Noto’s latest audiovisual performance, evolving from his HYbr:ID album series. Building on the project’s meticulous sound design, the expanded live language creates spatial atmospheres in which data-driven processes are translated into perceptual and affective experiences.
Under the pseudonym Alva Noto is Carsten Nicolai, a German artist and musician based in Berlin and is one of the best-known representatives of contemporary electronic music. Born in 1965 in Karl-Marx-Stadt, he is part of a generation of artists who works intensively in the transitional area between music, art, and scienceInspired by scientific reference systems, Nicolai explores mathematical patterns such as grids and codes, error and random structures, as well as the phenomenon of self-organisation. In doing so, he continually breaks down the boundaries between various artistic genres.
Concerts have taken Alva Noto to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Tate Modern in London. His various musical projects include collaborations with Ryōji Ikeda, Mika Vainio, Iggy Pop, Blixa Bargeld and Ryūichi Sakamoto. With the latter, Nicolai composed the music for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Oscar-winning film The Revenant, which was nominated for a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and a Grammy in the Best Original Score category.
