Univrs is the seventh studio album by German electronic artist Alva Noto.[3][4][5] It was released on 10 October 2011 via Raster-Noton label.
Overview
The album follows the same concept as Alva Noto's 2008 album Unitxt. While the focus of Unitxt is on the processing of rhythmic patterns ('unit' = unit of measurement, element) and information ('txt' = data, language), Univrs focuses on the conceptual differentiation of a universal language ('universum/universal' = unity, entirety). Like Unitxt, the album features a vocal part by Anne-James Chaton, who reads through three-letter acronyms on the track "uni acronym".[6] The album also contains a visual element.[7]
