Raster-Noton Albums
Raster-Noton was a German electronic music record label. It was established in 1999 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 sub label that was run by Carsten Nicolai. In 2017, the label split into two entities: Raster, to be run by Bender, and Noton, focusing on Nicolai's output. "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 apparent in the music and visible from the artwork and cover design. The collective label's aesthetic focuses on rhythmic, minimal electronic music alternating between playful pop and introspection. Artists Catalogue 20' to 2000 ''20' t ...

Emptyset
Emptyset is a Bristol-based production project, formed in 2005 by James Ginzburg and Paul Purgas. Ginzburg and Purgas say that by working across performance, installation and the moving image they are examining the physical properties of sound, the legacy of analogue media reflecting upon structural/materialist art production and the perceptual boundaries between noise and music. Emptyset has produced installations for Tate Britain and the Architecture Foundation in London, and presented live performances at Arnolfini, Spike Island Artspace, Kunsthalle Zürich, Sonic Acts XIV and Club transmediale (CTM) festival. Writing in the magazine ''Fact'', Josh Hall stated that the duo "are preoccupied with interstitial spaces: the points at which distortion takes on its own volition; at which form begins to dictate content; at which techno yields to the equipment with which it is made." Ginzburg and Purgas began Emptyset in 2005 to explore their shared interests in rhythmic music an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
