About the album.

Xerrox Vol.2 is Carsten Nicolai's sixth studio album as Alva Noto, an ambient and electronic record and the second chapter in his five-part Xerrox series. Originally released by Raster-Noton in 2009, it continues the method established on Vol.1, taking samples from outside sources and copying them until the originals are no longer recognisable. Where the first volume drew on anonymous everyday sound, this one credits Michael Nyman, Stephen O'Malley, and Ryuichi Sakamoto as sample sources, reshaped into long-form drone and electroacoustic pieces. The album pulls in two directions across its hour, dense walls of static on one side and fragile melodic traces on the other. Xerrox Vol.2 was followed by Vol.3 in 2015, Vol.4 in 2020 and Vol.5 in 2024. This 2026 NOTON edition is a remastered reissue across two LPs.
