Description: | HYbr:ID Vol. 2 is the second installment of Alva Notoâ??sHYbr:IDseries initiated in
2021. The new album captures the music commissioned to score RichardSiegal's
Ectopia performed in 2021 by Tanztheater Pina Bausch with Shooting into the Corner
(2008-09) by Anish Kapoor. Building upon the captivating blend of immersive dub and
electronica from the first installment, HYbr:ID Vol. 2 takes the listener on a
journey into the realm of intricately manipulated digital production. These ten
compositions delve into infinity, drawing inspiration from resonance and
elasticity, concepts rooted in Minkowski's four-dimensional spacetime model.
Throughout the album, Carsten Nicolai summons precise rhythmic patterns that
gracefully hover, reminiscent of celestial bodies orbiting in perfect cosmic
unison. The sonic landscape gradually unfolds with somber and brooding tones,
incorporating spacious sound design, ethereal atmospheres, and cascading metallic
percussions. These elements are delicately crafted with artistic finesse, set
against a backdrop of expansive dub textures. At times, the music takes unforeseen
turns, as melancholic chords skitter and meander through a digital haze, evoking an
atmosphere of introspection and emotion. The ten compositions are accompanied by
graphic notations informed by the albumâ??s sonic and acoustic codes. HYbr:ID Vol. 2
will be released digitally as well as a limited edition vinyl + booklet and CD - INCL. BOOKLETHYBR:ID VOL. 2 IS THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF ALVA NOTO?S HYBR:ID SERIES INITIATED IN 2021
