Raster-Noton

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

Rastermusic was founded by Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider in 1996. Their main interest was to release repetetive or minimal music with pop leanings. Their priority was to publish a series with a specific philosophy of music and sound composition.

Noton.archiv für ton und nichtton was founded by Carsten Nicolai alongside the label as a platform for more conceptual and experimental projects in music, art and science. After publishing 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 Pan Sonic fame).

Raster-Noton is the exclusive distributor of Ivan Pavlov's label Wavetrap.

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

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