“Monomom was recorded during our last tour in australia. The live version was released on the album TWO . Live at the sydney opera house, and We are now sharing a studio version of the track with the same title. This track is also the forerunner of the reissue of the first five albums of Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto. We have always enjoyed playing this piece live and are very excited to share the studio version with everyone. It is important to us that this composition is released in a time of reflection and celebration of the new year. We hope that its positive, at times gloomy atmosphere will encourage to look ahead.” — Carsten Nicolai
