ALVA NOTO (Original Music by) Carsten Nicolai is a German artist and musician based in Berlin. For his musical outputs he uses the pseudonym Alva Noto. Born 1965 in Karl-Marx-Stadt he is part of an artist generation who works intensively in the transitional area between music, art and science. With a strong adherence to reductionism he leads his sound experiments into the field of electronic music creating his own code of signs, acoustics and visual symbols. Diverse musical projects include remarkable collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto. For more than 10 years both artists work together, recorded five albums and toured extensively through Europe, Asia, South America and the US. Among others, Nicolai performed as Alva Noto at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Centre Pompidou in Paris and Tate Modern in London. His musical œuvre echoes in his work as a visual artist. Carsten Nicolai seeks to overcome the separation of the sensory perceptions of man by making scientific phenomenons like sound and light frequencies perceivable for both eyes and ears. His installations have a minimalistic aesthetic that by its elegance and consistency is highly intriguing. After his participation in important international exhibitions like documenta X and the 49th and 50th Venice Biennale, Nicolai’s works were shown worldwide in extensive solo and group exhibitions. GLOSSARY ARIKARA: The Arikara or Ree, known to themselves as the Sahnish people, historically lived by the mouths of the Grand and Missouri Rivers in what is now North Dakota. With a complex ceremonial culture and a rich trading network, they ultimately came to clash with the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, starting what became known as the Arikara War. ASHLEY HENRY: Ashley Henry was the fur company founded by William Henry Ashley and Andrew Henry, sometimes called the Rocky Mountain Fur Company. In the 1820s, Ashley Henry revolutionized the fur trade by leaving employees in the field year-round, which led to the creation of the “rendezvous” system – where individual trappers would rendezvous to sell their goods. BEAVER PELTS: Beaver pelts were in massive demand during the 1820s due to the European hat fashions of the day. At that time, a single beaver pelt might sell for $5 and a trapper could yield up to six animals a day. Before the fur trade declined in the 1850s with the advent of silk hats, the beaver was nearly hunted to extinction. CHINOOK: A dry, warm wind that can rapidly change weather conditions in the Rocky Mountains. KEELBOAT: An important workhorse for the Missouri River trade, keelboats were cargo vessels designed for shallow water, usually propelled by manpower and sometimes by sail. PAWNEE: One of the largest and most powerful Native American tribes of the 19th Century the Pawnee traditionally lived along the banks of the Missouri River in permanent lodges, where they farmed and hunted. POSSIBLES BAG: In the early 19th century, most mountain men would have two bags: a shooting pouch their gun equipment and a “possibles” bag for personal items, so-called because it was supposed to hold anything else possible that one would need. REVENANT: One who returns after death. |
