Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Glass

"Glass" is an improvisational piece composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto, for Yayoi Kusama's installation Dots Obsession—Alive, Seeking for Eternal Hope, which ran in September 2016 at Philip Johnson's Glass House.

"Glass" is an unconventional ambient composition of several fragments of sound coming together into various layers that subtly grow and shrink and play over a drone. According to Resident Advisor, "the melodies emphasise the fragility of glass, while the drone underlines its solidity and sturdiness, lending the composition a duality that it wrestles with over its 37-minute length." It differs from Nicolai and Sakamoto's previous works for its emphasis on the vibrations of acoustic textures rather than electronically-made sounds. It includes dark tones from a Sequential Circuits synth, mallet-rubbed glass that go through processing, and high-pitched crotales.
