Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto - Plateaux 2/End Released for the first time in 2009, Ëœutp_â„¢ is the third installment of Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamotoâ„¢s V.I.R.U.S.'s series. It was commissioned for the 400th anniversary of Mannheim, Germany. The flowing 10-section multimedia work derives its shape from a rasterized structure of the southwestern city, founded in 1608. The recording documents the workâ„¢s debut performed by Ensemble Modern at the National Theatre in Mannheim. The music embraces the electronic, piano-based palettes, an expanded array of avant-garde chamber instrumentation and natural timbres. It combined the digital visual score created by Carsten Nicolai and Simon Mayer, and lighting design by Nigel Edwards.
