It involves sounds, visuals and algorithmic sequencing providing a unique experience for the audience in which sounds and visuals are melting into a dense, coherent and minimal artwork matter. From physical approach of the sound to customized algorithmic sequencers controlled in real-time on stage, ALPHA a/v live performance explores sounds and visuals fields and how one is related to the other by pushing and moving limits or walls between these creative fields."

The signal is randomly generated by the Ataris and is never exactly the same. We have developed a method for dimming and controlling the voltage with midi so that the signal can be played like an instrument. This results in a collaboration with the “ghost in the machine”. We control the rhythm and the timing, but the Ataris are always surprising us with a new signal of sound and image (see examples). We call this project Hydra, like the mythical beast because, like a hydra, We must cut off the power/head to control it, but it keeps growing a new head or new, erratic, expressive signal." [Atari 2600 + voltage control + ableton live = immersive synesthesic noise performance] !!!

An AV live performance joining White Sample and  Raum.null, playing with several electronic devices including the Digital Logic Noise Generator, modular synthesizer and analog noise boxes. For the live visuals, the sound artists were supported by Futurelab members Veronika Pauser (VeroVisual) and Peter Holzkorn (voidsignal), as well as Michael Platz, who contributed a body controller he developed, to be used by Veronika as another way to influence the visuals in real-time.

SIISX / MUR "Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto is a collaboration project between the German minimalist and audiovisual artist Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto) & the contemporary Japanese pianist and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. In this co-operation, two different generations meet and share the idea of electronic music as an inspiration source for new musical structures. Alva Noto processes the sounds from Sakamoto’s piano, creating a mixture of solo piano and glitchy micro electronic sounds."
