Transrapid is an extended play by German electronic artist Alva Noto.
It was released in 2004 via Raster Noton label.
[1][2] This is the first part of the transall triptych that, according to the artist, respectively deals with one of three interrelated themes: the increased speed of information flow, utopias, and the fragmentation of ideas.
[3][4] The record is accompanied by an essay written by journalist and author Ulf Poschardt, addressing such issues as the acceleration of art, technology and culture and concluding that a key aspect of the contemporary is the embracing of both speed and stasis.
[5] All tracks are written by Alva Noto
