Alva Noto / Signal / Byetone / Komet - Mort Aux Vaches - 02-May-06 02:03 PM
"Staalplaat is pleased to announce the first Mort Aux Vaches double CD, which features 4 projects from the Raster-Noton label. These four bands might be considered the core of that label, and maybe more so, the most influential electronic music around. Since 1996 they are exploring music that has been called 'clicks & cuts' or 'microwave'. Featured are Alva Noto, Byetone, Komet and Signal. Each of these projects has it's distinct sound that differs from the others. Alva Noto sounds very clean with his high pitched rhythms, Komet and Byetone are both more techno influenced and Signal (normally a collaboration between Komet, Alva Noto and Byetone) is the most experimental one, with it's droning soundscapes. Signal and Byetone were recorded at the VPRO in 1999. Alva Noto also recorded a set there, the first live presentation of 'Prototypes', but it's replaced here by a different recording. Komet was not present during the recordings but in order to be complete, he submitted a live recording from around the same date. Cover by Alorenz. This is a limited edition of 1000 copies."
