Raster-Noton is a German electronic music record label established in 1999. Based in Chemnitz, Germany, it emerged from the fusion of Rastermusik, founded by Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider in 1996, and Noton (Archiv für Ton und Nichtton), a sublabel which was run by Carsten Nicolai.
“raster-noton. archiv für ton und nichtton” is meant to be a platform — a network covering the overlapping border areas of pop, art and science. It realizes music projects, publications and installation works. A common idea behind all releases is an experimental approach — an amalgamation of sound, art and design, which is not only apparent in the music, but also visible from the artwork and cover design.
The collective label's aesthetic focus is on rhythmic, minimal electronic music alternating between playful pop and introspection.
