Summvs
''Summvs'' is the fifth collaboration album between Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The record was released on 9 May 2011 via Raster-Noton label. Background The collaboration between the artists began in 2002, and ''Summvs'' promises to be the fifth and final installment in the series titled the ''Virus Series''. The title ''Summvs'' refers to the Latin word "summa" (eng. sum) and "versus" (eng. towards); it serves as a metaphor for the work being oriented towards a collaborative result.

The album also features two covers of the track "By This River" originally composed by Brian Eno, Dieter Moebius, and Hans-Joachim Roedelius in 1977.
