Alva Noto d

Berlin electronics wizard and key figure in the electronic music world Alva Noto (pseudonym of Carsten Nicolai, co-founder of the Raster-Noton label) presents his new audio-visual show 'UNIEQAV' in Bruges. In his shows, Alva Noto blends sound and image/light. In his solo shows and his collaborations with icons such as Ryoji Ikeda, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Blixa Bargeld (Einstürzende Neubauten), a purely mathematical, minimalist aesthetic shines through. Together with long-time collaborator Ryuichi Sakamoto, Alva Noto received a Golden Globe nomination for the soundtrack of The Revenant.

Sound designer Yves De Mey (formerly Eavesdropper) makes electronic 'musique concrète', which ranges from ambient music to abstract, rhythmic constructions to noise music and techno. In De Mey's futuristic musical language, slow rhythmic pulses resonate against a background of dense, organic clouds of sound.

Armed with an arsenal of tape recorders, field recordings and synthesisers, sound artist Mathieu Serruys creates intimate experimental music. His misty tape loops, delicate drones and love of analogue imperfections make his music unique.
