RASTER-NOTON

'Raster-Noton' is a German electronic music record label founded in 1996 by Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider. Based in Chemnitz, Germany, Raster-Noton merged in 1999 from separate labels Rastermusik and Noton (''Archiv für Ton und Nichtton'').
The collective label's aesthetic focus is rhythmic, minimal electronic music alternating between playful pop and introspection, partnered with unconventional and equally minimal packaging design.

Many seminal electronic musicians of the late 1990s and early 2000s have contributed to the label's catalog, including: Franz Pomassl, Frank Bretschneider (Komet), Ilpo Vaisanen, Mika Vainio (Ø), Ryoji Ikeda, Ivan Pavlov (CoH), Thomas Brinkmann, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), Coil (ElPH), Wolfgang Voigt, Olaf Bender (Byetone), Richard Chartier, Kim Cascone, Frans de Waard, Roel Meelkop and Peter Duimelinks (Goem), Jens Massel (Senking), and Taylor Deupree.

''20' to 2000'' is a monthly series of twelve CDs released over the course of 1999, with each month's artist contributing a 20-minute project expressing "possibly a manifest of the millennium". [1] Each disc was packaged in a thin plastic slipcase with a hollow core. A separate kit containing twelve magnets fit into the core and allowed the individual discs to be joined into one set (pictured).
