Xerrox Vol.2 (reMASTER)

Description

Xerrox Vol. 2 is the sixth studio album, released in 2009 by German electronic arCst
Alva Noto. It is the second installment of the Xerrox penthalogy, based on the
concept of digital replicaCon of source material.
As with the first Xerrox album, the starCng point is a set of samples culled from
external sources. This Cme, snippets and recordings from Sunn O))) collaborator
Stephen O’Malley and composer Michael Nyman are featured, as is an excerpt from
the 2004 Insen tour with Ryuichi Sakamoto.
While Alva Noto’s oeuvre is predominantly affiliated with prisCne sound design, the
Xerrox series holds more inCmate gestures and emoConal sensibility. This volume
moves further from the conceptualism and orderliness of prior musical outputs,
ranging from heart-warming elegies to mind-bending sci-fi projecCons in extrasolar
territories. This remastered version will be reissued on NOTON in 2026
