Raster

Raster-noton.archiv für ton und nichtton, also known as Raster-Noton, is a renowned electronic music label based in Germany. It was formed in 1999 through the merger of two previous labels: Rastermusic and noton.archiv für ton und nichtton. These labels had been collaborating on releases since 1996.

Rastermusic was founded by Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider with the aim of publishing a series that focused on repetitive or minimal music with pop influences. On the other hand, noton.archiv für ton und nichtton was established by Carsten Nicolai as a platform for conceptual and experimental projects in music, art, and science. They introduced the clear series and later launched the innovative 20' to 2000 CD magazine.

After celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2017, Raster-Noton underwent restructuring. The label split into two entities: Raster, managed by Olaf Bender, which handles the back catalog of Raster-Noton/Raster-Music; and Noton, overseen by Carsten Nicolai representing all past and future projects of Alva Noto. 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 Wavetrap label.

Radial is the result of a vivid creative merge between Esplendor Geométrico and AtomTM. A transparent diamond formed by a heavy implosion. Its underlying massive mechanics are covered by a crystal surface made to cut reality in half. Just one letter short of “radical”, this album is no less than exactly that – an orgy of powerful, blunt repetition and hyperbolic simplicity, a profound evocation of nothingness and its surroundings.
