Aggressive electronic experimentation will be the theme of the evening when noted German record label Raster-Noton pulls into town for its 15th anniversary Japan tour. Heading up the event is renowned sound creator Carsten Nicolai in his Alva Noto incarnation. Nicolai is a frequent collaborator of Japan’s ele-pop king Ryuichi Sakamoto, and the event is promising a special guest. Doesn’t take much to put two and two together but Metropolis makes no promises! Also on the bill are laptop hard-hitter Byetone, Finnish techno explorer Luomo, French “sound poet” Anne-James Chaton and Japan’s own Aoki Takamasa.
