Raster-Noton
Raster-Noton is a German record label founded in 1999 by Carsten Nicolai and Olaf Bender. It focuses on experimental electronic music and visual art, often blurring the lines between sound and visual experiences. The label is known for its innovative approach to music production and distribution, emphasizing the relationship between audio and visual elements.
The name "Raster-Noton" combines two concepts: "Raster," referring to a grid or pattern, and "Noton," derived from the Greek word for "sound." The label has released works from various artists, including Alva Noto and Ryoji Ikeda, contributing significantly to the fields of minimalism and sound art.
