Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Vrioon' is a serene, meticulous collaboration between experimental producer Alva Noto and renowned pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto. The album layers beautiful, impressionistic piano chords over sparse, micromontage electronic glitch elements. It is an incredibly soft, meditative, and sophisticated piece of electroacoustic ambient music.
