Lynchpin and co-founder of the Raster Noton label, renowned installation-artist, producer, conceptual sound sculptor and all-round audio-visual maverick, Carsten Nicolai has over the last decade amassed a sizeable following in both the art and music worlds and figures as one of the most influential characters in experimental new music. His productions revolve around rigid concepts but never at the expense of the aesthetic, combining a fascination with the sonic detritus of everyday life (from the hum of fax machines and photocopiers to electric currents and fragments of half remembered muzak) with an inherently complex and rugged love of funked up percussive structures and deadly bass tones, always sharpened and honed with a sonic purity unparalleled in modern music. This week's selection offers an overview of his works, ranging from the orchestral modifications of his collaborative constructs with Ryuichi Sakamoto, to his more rhythmic reductions as part of Raster supergroup Signal and onto his evocative Cymatic arrangements under his most utilised alter-ego, Alva Noto.
