Carsten Nicolai (born 1965), known as Alva Noto, is a German musician. He is a member of the music groups Diamond Version with Olaf Bender (Byetone), Signal with Frank Bretschneider and Olaf Bender, Cyclo with Ryoji Ikeda, and Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto with Ryuichi Sakamoto, with whom he composed the score for the 2015 film The Revenant.
Nicolai was born in Chemnitz, Saxony, Germany (then Karl-Marx-Stadt, Saxony, East Germany) in 1965. He studied architecture and landscape design before pursuing art. In 1999 he founded the electronic music record label Raster-Noton.
Nicolai has recently written an opera, Sparkie: Cage and Beyond, in collaboration with Michael Nyman.
Nicolai has performed and created installations in many of the world's most prestigious spaces including the Guggenheim, New York, the SF MoMA, Modern Art Oxford, NTT Tokyo, Tate Modern and Venice Biennale, Italy. As a member (and co-founder) of the Raster-Noton label he was responsible for the acclaimed CD series '20 to 2000' that went on to win the Golden Nica prize at Prix Ars Electronica, 2000.
Volume Two, Volume 2, or Volume II may refer to:
Noto (Sicilian: Notu; Latin: Netum) is a city and comune in the Province of Siracusa, Sicily, Italy. It is 32 kilometres (20 mi) southwest of the city of Siracusa at the foot of the Iblean Mountains and gives its name to the surrounding are,Val di Noto. In 2002 Noto and its church were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The older town, Noto Antica, lies 8 kilometres (5 mi) directly north on Mount Alveria. It was ancient Netum, a city of Sicel origin, left to Hiero II by the Romans by the treaty of 263 BCE and mentioned by Cicero as a foederala citilas (Verr. v. 51, 133), and by Pliny as Latinae conditionis (Hist. Nat. iii. 8. 14). According to legend, Daedalus stopped here after his flight over the Ionian Sea, as well as Hercules, after his seventh task.
In the Roman era, it opposed praetor Verres. In 866 it was conquered by the Arabs, who elevated to a capital city of one of three districts of the island (the Val di Noto). In 1091, it became the last Muslim stronghold in Sicily to fall to the Christians. Later it was a rich Norman city.
Xerrox Vol. 2 is the sixth studio album by German electronic artist Alva Noto. On this record, the author turns to a list of contemporary musicians, including Michael Nyman, Stephen O’Malley, and Ryuichi Sakamoto.

"My definition of beauty is something very simple, which can express something very complex." Meet the noted German artist Carsten Nicolai in this interview about his minimalist installation 'Snow Noise', which, according to the artist, is a bit like a poem. Snow Noise (2001) is an artwork based on the idea of the metaphor of the crystal as something beautiful which starts growing from a speck of irritation. In this way, the snowflake or crystal works the same way as Carsten Nicolai does, he says. The Snow Noise installation is a space where the visitor can grow their own crystal, and thus participate in the artistic process. In the interview Nicolai also reflects on whether or not contemporary artists need their own handwriting: "Actually I love the idea that nature can execute the fina...

"There was this term in the 80s which I like, 'ingenious amateurs'. That with a certain kind of dilettantism and ignorance, you are less soared to touch things and to do stuff. (...) I think it's very important to use something in the wrong or radical way." — ALVA NOTO / CARSTEN NICOLAI feature, taken from Slices Issue 4-09.

DANCITY FESTIVAL 2011 preview - Back to the Future dancityfestival.com Thursday, May 19th 2011 TEATRO MORLACCHI - PERUGIA - ITALY La collaborazione tra Ryuichi Sakamoto ed Alva Noto ha inizio nel 2003, anno in cui il primo album di questo nuovo progetto, "Vrioon", viene alla luce. Dopo aver dato un seguito al loro esordio nel marzo del 2005 con "Insen", il duo nippo-tedesco inizia una serie di concerti in teatro, che punta esplicitamente all'accostamento fra musica e installazioni visive. Sul palco c'è il pianoforte di Sakamoto, ma anche il banco di Alva Noto, sui cui stanno due laptop e strumentazioni elettroniche. Sullo sfondo, le immagini che sembrano seguire a menadito ciò che Sakamoto suona col pianoforte. L'essenzialità è colta visivamente all'ascolto di questa musica, così inaffer...

Carsten Nicolai unidisplay 21.09.2012-06.01.2013 Curated by Chiara Bertola and Andrea Lissoni http://www.hangarbicocca.org/exhibitions/carsten-nicolai/ unidisplay, an installation measuring about 40 metres in length, combines the most important elements of Nicolai's work: the ability to make sound perceptible on an optical level, minimal aesthetics translated into the monotone use of colour (variations on black and white) and acoustics, and the propensity towards abstraction and the infinite.
