Using the process of copying as a basis, the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eXerrox\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e series deals with the manipulation of data by means of endless reproduction. Due to the inherent fallacy of the procedure involving the making of copies made from other copies, everyday sounds become so altered that they can be hardly associated with the source material. As a result, entirely new sounds are created: copies of originals become originals themselves. Following \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eXerrox Vol. 1\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (R-N 078CD\/LP, 2007), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eVol. 2\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (R-N 103LP, 2009), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eVol. 3\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (R-N 159CD\/LP, 2015), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarsten Nicolai\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e continues the pentalogy eluding the accuracy and precise sound design for which he's renowned, and turning to a more harmony-driven composition technique. Unlike the previous \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eXerrox\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e albums, whose starting point is a set of samples extracted from external sources and fragments of recordings, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eVol. 4\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e compounds under a unified cinematic soundscape, warm chords, thrumming digital ambiences, liquified electronics, drones, and noise sustained by floods of strings. The tension between the organic warmth and static curves, broad tones into distant roars and electronic cascade of sounds. While Alva Noto's oeuvre is predominantly affiliated with pristine sound design, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eXerrox\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e holds more intimate gestures and emotional sensibility. This fourth volume shuns further from the conceptualism and orderliness of prior musical outputs, ranging from heart-warming elegies to mind-bending sci-fi projections in extrasolar territories.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43214561738870,"sku":"5057805471226","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1276\/9409\/files\/NOTON049LP_PROD.jpg?v=1774051502","url":"https:\/\/erodingwinds.com\/products\/alva-noto-xerrox-vol-4-lp","provider":"Eroding Winds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
