Glass

by Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto

Glass cover art

Recorded entirely within architect Philip Johnson's famous Glass House, this collaborative improvisational performance utilized the building's physical structure as an acoustic instrument. The duo seamlessly merged Sakamoto's delicate keyboard work and contact microphone manipulations with Noto's sterile glitch electronics, creating a fragile, site-specific masterpiece of modern electroacoustic drone.
