Atom TM is a German electronic musician who currently resides in Santiago de Chile. With an extensive discography, he has released music under numerous aliases throughout his career. Not only does Atom TM create music, but he also runs his own label called Rather Interesting and owns a design company known as Linger Decoree.

His unique sound can be compared to artists such as CoH, Ryoji Ikeda, Kangding Ray, and Frank Bretschneider. Influenced by the likes of alva noto and Mika Vainio, Atom TM's music explores the boundaries of electronic music with experimental elements.

With collaborations and remixes from renowned artists like Oval, Jan Jelinek, Monolake, and David Toop, Atom TM has established himself as a respected figure in the electronic music scene. His innovative approach to sound design sets him apart from others in the industry.

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.

&lt;3 is a collection of material in the genre of “hard code pop”. It was produced by AtomTM interacting with x1n, an entity for generating human voice and natural language content.

&lt;3 is an alphanumeric pre-echo, arisen from a 2019 number dream. cutting through the haze of meaning.

&lt;3 is music made by machines, with machines, for machines. reality as useful fiction. read 0.999... as the mantra of death, the ongoing chain of cycles, going down one by one.
