Summvs is the fifth collaboration album between Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The record was released on 9 May 2011 via Raster-Noton label.[3][4]
Background[edit]
The collaboration between the artists began in 2002, and Summvs promises to be the fifth and final installment in the series titled the Virus Series.[5] The title Summvs refers to the Latin word 'summa' (eng. sum) and 'versus' (eng. towards); it serves as a metaphor for the work being oriented towards a collaborative result.[6] The album features 'Microon' compositions containing recordings of a 16th tone interval tuning piano--Piano Metamorfoseador Carrillo en Dieciseisavos de Tono. The album also features two covers of the track 'By This River' originally composed by Brian Eno, Dieter Moebius, and Hans-Joachim Roedelius in 1977.[7]
The initial letters of the five albums in the series--Vrioon (2002), Insen (2005), Revep (2006), utp_ (2008), and Summvs (2011)—together form the word 'Virus'.[8]
Reception[edit]
Mark Jarnes of The Japan Times commented 'Sakamoto’s haunting piano-based arrangements — as well as his masterful understanding of silence — effortlessly coalesce with Nicolai’s digital rhythms and accompaniment, creating a work of musical art that is as provocative as it is meditative. OK, so technically because this album was pressed by German label Raster-Noton, it’s not strictly a Japanese release. However, Sakamoto’s contribution makes it a significant step forward for Japan’s avant-garde scene — not just musically, but also artistically'.[9]
