Noton

Carsten Nicolai, known by his pseudonym *Alva Noto*, is a German artist and musician based in Berlin. Born in 1965 in Karl-Marx-Stadt, he belongs to a generation of artists who seamlessly blend music, art, and science. With a strong focus on reductionism, Nicolai pushes the boundaries of electronic music through his unique code of signs, acoustics, and visual symbols.

In 1994, Nicolai founded the label *NOTON* as a small imprint which gained momentum with the release of his record "spin" in 1996. This led to a collaboration with RasterMusic and eventually resulted in the merger of both labels into Raster-Noton by 1999. Currently working independently under NOTON since 2017, they have released Alva Noto's entire back catalogue and are planning future releases.

Nicolai's diverse musical projects include notable collaborations with *Ryuichi Sakamoto*, *Ryoji Ikeda (cyclo)*, *Blixa Bargeld*, and *Mika Vainio*. As Alva Noto, he has performed extensively across Europe, Asia, South America, and the US at prestigious venues such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City and Centre Pompidou in Paris. He also scored the music for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s film 'The Revenant', garner

Raster-Noton is an electronic music label based in Germany that was formed in 1999 through the fusion of two previous labels, Rastermusic and noton.archiv für ton und nichtton. The founders of Rastermusic, Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider, aimed to publish repetitive or minimal music with pop leanings. On the other hand, Carsten Nicolai founded noton.archiv für ton und nichtton as a platform for conceptual and experimental projects in music, art, and science. In 2017, Raster-Noton underwent restructuring and split into two distinct entities: Raster and Noton.

Raster-Noton's back catalog is now handled by *Raster*, which is run by Olaf Bender. Meanwhile, *Noton* focuses on representing all past and future projects of Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai). The label also has a sublabel called Kangaroo dedicated to releases by Ilpo Väisänen from Pan Sonic fame. Additionally, Raster-Noton serves as the exclusive distributor for Ivan Pavlov's label Wavetrap.

On their website, Raster-Noton offers downloadable albums in CD-quality 48khz WAV format. They have also released limited edition "Transall Collector's Boxes" handmade by German bookbinder Cornelia Ahnert to house the Transall series.

For an aesthetic of (dis)obedience. The impressions Richard Siegal and his company Ballet of Difference gathered on a trip to Japan in September 2022 now find their way into a full-length dance evening.

Siegal and his team had set off for Tokyo to learn the practice of Shuudan Koudou, also known as "Japanese Precision Walking". The strictly synchronised group choreographies are astonishing in their radical stringency and have become a secret YouTube hit, not least because of their peculiar subtle humour. Siegal recognises in the extreme disciplining of the bodies an analogy to the training practice of classical ballet.

In the mutual exchange of these movement cultures, questions are raised about individual and collective thinking, about personal decision-making power and social responsibility. For this extraordinary project, Richard Siegal has invited a special guest: Nazareth Panadero, long-time companion of Pina Bausch, who has long since become an icon of Wuppertal dance theatre and will be on stage with the BoD ensemble.
