2011, Raster-Noton (Germany)
The EP Revep is a continuation of the collaboration between Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto, and offers a previously-unreleased extract of this musical exchange which started with Vrioon (2002) and found its temporary end with Insen (2005). Similar to its predecessors, Revep breaks the rules of traditional acoustics -- the separation of sound and noise -- in a mysterious manner. "You hardly can go further, hardly can get deeper into the structure of sounds -- in order to discover a beauty never heard before." --Tim Lorenz, Groove. In contrast to both predecessors, Revep presents "Ax Mr.L.," a track where the artists fall back on an already renowned composition by Sakamoto -- the theme music to the movie Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence with David Bowie, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Takeshi Kitano from 1983.
