Rastermusic/Noton is a label cooperation for electronic music based in Germany. In 1999 labels Rastermusic and Noton.archiv für ton und nichtton merged and a foundation stone, for a collaboration uniting sound and art design with strong attention to scientific sequences, was laid down.

Rastermusic was founded by Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider in 1996. The main interest was to give repetive minimal-music following the direction of pop. Priority is to publish series with focus on a specific philosophy of music/ sound composing.

Noton.archiv für ton und nichtton was founded by Carsten Nicolai more as an platform for conceptional and experimental related projects in music, art and science. After the publishing of the (still ongoing) clear series in 1996 the idea for a conceptual cd magazine occured and was finally realised as the 20`to 2000 series on Raster-Noton between 1999 and 2000.

Raster-Noton has a sublabel named Kangaroo., which is reserved for releases by Ilpo Väisänen (of Panasonic fame) only.

Raster-Noton is the exclusive distributor of Ivan Pavlovs label Wavetrap.

The Raster-Noton website also sells downloadable copies of many albums, many of which are available as above CD-quality 48khz WAV.

R-N 66 is the limited edition "Transall Collector's Box" to house the Transall series (Transrapid, Transvision, Transspray and Transform). The boxes were handmade by German bookbinder Cornelia Ahnert.
