In September 2025, with support from Autotelic Foundation, Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai) brought his signature minimalist precision and rhythmic intensity to Berghain. Accompanied by large-scale LED visuals, his set combined percussive material from ‘HYbr:ID’ (2021), the ‘UNI’ series, and ‘PARA’—a new body of work that explores evolving sonic patterns and generative structures.
Filmed in the lead up to these two audiovisual performances, see here an extended edit of the interview in which the Berlin-based artist and musician opened the doors of his studio to reflect on his work as Alva Noto, the interplay of sound and image throughout his practice, and his long-awaited return to Berlin’s iconic nightclub.
