The joint catalogue of Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto already includes a string of studio albums, an EP and a major film score. Come this November, it will grow to include another new live album.

The collaborators have announced live album TWO, set to arrive November 15 through Noton. Fifteen tracks in length, the set finds the duo performing new, improvised works on top of collaborative compositions from across their catalogue.

TWO was recorded in 2018 at the Sydney Opera House in Australia. That live date was the conclusion of a series of "TWO" live events, which also took place at Berlin's Funkhaus, Barcelona's Theatre Grec, London's Barbican Centre and Melbourne's Hammer Hall.

TWO closes with a live version of the pair's theme for Alejandro Iñárritu's The Revenant, and you can hear that in the player below.
