About
On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the city of Mannheim, Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai) and Ryuichi Sakamoto were invited to develop an audio-visual performance together with the Ensemble Modern. The concept of the arising piece named "UTP_" is derived from the rasterized structure of Mannheim (built as an ideal city in the 17th century) and also paying reference to the musical history of the city. The result of the collaboration - like the former projects of Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto - is a synergetic mixture of electronic and natural sound, that is expanded by the potential of the classical instruments of Ensemble Modern. "UTP_", the title of the new composition is deduced from the term utopia and hence describes an approach that leaves space for further extensive association. .
