"Xerrox Vol. 3 is the eighth solo studio album by German electronic artist Alva Noto , released in 2015 as part of the ongoing Xerrox penthalogy, which began with Xerrox Vol. 1 (2007) and Xerrox Vol. 2 (2009). Inspired by formative influences such as Andrei Tarkovsky 's 1971 film Solaris , La Isla Misteriosa y el Capitán Nemo by Juan Antonio Bardem , and Henri Colpi , Carsten Nicolai exchanges austerity for cinematographic lushness in the remarkably widescreen third volume of his Xerrox series. In line with the series' focus on "using the process of copying as a basis," the eleven compositions of this volume can be heard as copies of memories, exploring emotional data patterns that are reflected as melodic vectors and noise."
