about this album
Alva Noto concludes the Uni-prefixed release cycle with Unieqav, the 3rd and most dancefloor-focused installment of the series. The follow-up to Unitxt (2008) and Univrs (2011) pairs pendulous minimal techno and electro rhythms with wide, sheer electronic drones in a way that strongly recalls recent Monolake output as well as Ilpo Väisänen in full swang. Pursuing the project's roots in the dancefloor of Tokyo's UNIT club to a satisfyingly logical endpoint, Nicolai rolls out 12 typically mercurial, yet gripping, sound designs defined by their fluid dynamics and seemingly fathomless dimensions intended to render the club or your head underwater, thanks to a still remarkable grasp of purified tonal minimalism/maximalism and studied sensitivity to proprioception.
