La parole 1 (Alva Noto Remix)

by Vincenzo Ramaglia

/

about

Two years after the album "La parole" (feat. Laure Le Prunenec) and the remixes that μ-Ziq, Shigeto, Emika and Venetian Snares have dedicated to it, the music of Vincenzo Ramaglia also seduces Alva Noto, demigod of the world electronic scene, who ventures into a new version of 'La parole 1', via PEM Records.

Behind the name of Alva Noto lies the Berlin producer Carsten Nicolai. In 1994 he inaugurated the label Raster Noton (now NOTON), establishing himself all over the world with solo albums and together with the likes of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Blixa Bargeld, Ryoji Ikeda and Mika Vanio, among others. In addition to the most important electronic festivals, Alva Noto, who is also a well-known visual artist and combines experimental images with his music, has performed in museum spaces, from the Guggenheim in New York to the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, from the Center Pompidou in Paris to the Tate Modern in London up to the Sydney Opera House.

Speaking of the remix, Vincenzo Ramaglia says: “I am excited to recognize the glitch/microsound soul of Alva Noto in a remodel of one of the tracks from my album, ‘La parole’. In addition to the style (evocative, hypnotic, both essential and ingenious) that I always love in Alva Noto's music, I feel a further poetic vein opening up to an infinite horizon of suggestions. I don’t know why it reminds me, for example, of the 'library scene' from Wim Wenders' ‘Der Himmel über Berlin’, but listening to the refined sound textures that Carsten placed in Laure's voice, the film's sequence, with its angels, comes back to my mind as if fragmented through an optical prism. My final feeling is that this metaphysical remix is really a masterpiece”.
