Even though I'm very inexperienced when it comes to 'Sound Art' I can't stop thinking that unfortunately a lot of what is passed off for sound art is just put into this category mainly because it just doesn't fit into music or any other category. Having said this I'm not against any Sound Art which has some kind of point or aesthetic to it which leads into the piece of work that I've chosen for this blog, 'Spray'- by Alva Noto . The piece is over 7 mins. long and is primarily made up of filtered noise. The piece starts with just a few fragments of noise which build up to a large noise texture which is filtered in various ways.
The artist Alva Noto, also known as Carsten Nicolai was born 1965 in Karl-Marx-Stadt. He is co-founder of the record label Raster-Noton as well as being involved in a number of groups, ie; Signal, Komet, Byetone and Cyclo. "His music features prominently in his art. Nicolai’s work exposes the limitations, and potential beauty and creativity, possible within strict logical systems."1
