After finishing the transall cycle and introducing the series of xerrox, alva noto makes a move back to his more rhythmic approach in unitxt. it could be seen as a kind of continuation to the transspray ep from 2004.

A preview of unitxt concept was already released as a remix track for the björk cd-s release innocence produced by björk/timbaland, from her latest album volta (2007). unitxt was recorded during raster-noton japan tours 2006 and 2007. it was reviewed and edited in berlin early 2008.

The title unitxt could be read as:

- unit extended referring to a unit of a rhythmic grid

- or universal text referring to a universal language, e.g. mathematics: units, constants, measurements, prefix-, SI system of units

And is represented in spoken word and by codes in sound itself.
