Alva Noto’s Wave Wave – Sono Obi is now available via the NOTON shop.

The two-track EP was born from Carsten Nicolai’s 2025 collaboration and exhibition with Hosoo, Kyoto’s historic Nishijin-ori textile studio.

The project brings together two interrelated works exploring the relationship between textile and sound.

Wave Weave captures the rhythm of Hosoo’s looms through video and synchronized electronic sound, while Sono Obi Landscape transforms electronic music into sonograms interpreted as textile patterns.

The resulting fabric becomes a physical recording of sound, proposing a new way to experience music through texture, visual form, and material presence.

The exhibition and accompanying EP bridge tradition and innovation, reflecting Nicolai’s longstanding interest in weaving and sound alongside Hosoo’s centuries-long mastery of textile craftsmanship.
