坂本龍一and Alva Noto's fifth and latest collaborative work, "summvs.
The title "summvs" is derived from a coined word combining the Latin words "summa" (English: sum) and "versus" (English: towers). Following "vrioon" released in 2002, "insen" and "revep" in 2005, and "utp_" in 2007, "summvs", the final work in the series, completes the collaboration project consisting of a total of five works.

坂本龍一The final work in the series, "summvs," completes the five-piece project. Although the number of notes in the "summvs" series is small, each note of the piano is filled with emotion and passion, and Alva Noto's sine waves are fused together to create a new aesthetic of piano tones.

The new album will be showcased under a unique sound visualization and state-of-the-art technology and stage design on their European tour, beginning with a performance at the Roundhouse in London on May 12 and continuing through June 19.
