On Take Me, I’m Yours, Alan Abrahams and Jan Jelinek dissolve the border between song and sound design: multi‑layered vocal sketches are stripped of harmony and beat, re‑sculpted into fragile, pulsing landscapes where house‑born emotion drifts through Jelinek’s grainy abstractions.

*350 copies limited edition* This journey begins with ominous drones. Long sustained signals. An eerie mewing that sounds like kittens lost in space. These sequences spin backwards and forwards set against a buzz of low frequency oscillations. Morphing first into flocks of swooping birds, before transforming into something more melodic. Symphonic. Tangerine Dream first mapped this void on Zeit. A Sci-Fi movie sample announces a slow, rolling rhythm. Its pulse eventually augmented by broken beats…

Tip! Noton releases the Limited Edition CD Box Set of Alva Noto’s Xerrox series.

Over the years, the project has evolved into one of the most distinctive bodies of work in contemporary electronic music, situated between minimalism, experimental sound art and digital abstraction. Across five albu…

Music For Parents is a low-frequency, vibroacoustically informed album developed through research into sound, rest, and nervous system regulation. Composed between 2019 and 2020, the record explores slow-moving bass structures and reduced harmonic density, inviting a form of listening that is felt as much as heard. The work emerged from a personal process, shaped by a desire to support rest and release through sound. Music For Parents takes its title reflecting on the dynamics of parent–child re…

Xerrox Vol. 3 is the eighth solo studio album by German electronic artist Alva Noto, released in 2015 as part of the ongoing Xerrox penthalogy, which began with Xerrox Vol. 1 (2007) and Xerrox Vol. 2 (2009).Inspired by formative influences such as Andrei Tarkovsky's 1971 film Solaris, La Isla Misteriosa y el Capitán Nemo by Juan Antonio Bardem, and Henri Colpi, Carsten Nicolai exchanges austerity for cinematographic lushness in the remarkably widescreen third volume of his Xerrox series. In line…

Xerrox Vol. 2 is the sixth studio album, released in 2009 by German electronic artist Alva Noto. It is the second installment of the Xerrox penthalogy, based on the concept of digital replication of source material. As with the first Xerrox album, the starting point is a set of samples culled from external sources. This time, 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 Sakamot…

Xerrox Vol. 1 is the third studio album by German electronic artist Alva Noto. It was released in 2007 as part of the ongoing Xerrox pentalogy, based on the concept of digital replication of source material. Using the process of copying as a basis, the Xerrox series deals with the manipulation of data through endless reproduction. Due to the inherent fallacy of making copies from other copies, everyday sounds become so altered that they are hardly associated with their source material. As a resu…
