I absolutely love Alva Noto, and this collaboration with legendary Japanese artist Ryuichi Sakamoto is simply beautiful. It has a timeless appeal at an almost pre-conscious level of understanding in the minimal music, colors, and natural imagery.
The following two are solos by Alva Noto, Prototype 6 and Berlin. Both resonate strongly to me with the processes that occur at the deepest levels of consciousness.
I envision creative thoughts and inspirations bubbling into my awareness and bursting forth in flashes like we see in the video, while the music serves as a constant reminder that there is an underlying order to the subtle processes of what scientists might call cognition or in contemplative traditions would be considered mindfulness.
Take 10 minutes and enjoy these videos, like a form of waking meditation, you’ll thank yourself after and return to whatever you were doing with a fresh outlook.
