Alva Noto reveals fourth Xerrox album

Carsten Nicolai, AKA Alva Noto, is releasing Xerrox Vol. 4 on June 19th.

The fourth volume in the series, which started in 2007, continues the theme of re-sampling samples until they’re unrecognizable. This time, however, the sounds are arranged in a more melodic, approachable way, according to label Noton. Listen to clips over at Bleep.

The last Xerrox came out in 2015. There’s a fifth one planned to end the series, though there’s no word yet on when that might come out.

Earlier this year, Nicolai released a cover of The Cure’s “A Forest, and last year put out collaborative albums with Anne-James Chaton and Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Listen to Nicolai’s cover of “A Forest.”
