Noton

Raster-Noton is an electronic music label based in Germany that was formed in 1999 through the fusion of two previous labels, Rastermusic and noton.archiv für ton und nichtton. The founders of Rastermusic, Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider, aimed to publish repetitive or minimal music with pop leanings. On the other hand, Carsten Nicolai founded noton.archiv für ton und nichtton as a platform for conceptual and experimental projects in music, art, and science. In 2017, Raster-Noton underwent restructuring and split into two distinct entities: Raster and Noton.

Raster-Noton's back catalog is now handled by *Raster*, which is run by Olaf Bender. Meanwhile, *Noton* focuses on representing all past and future projects of Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai). 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 label Wavetrap.

On their website, Raster-Noton offers downloadable albums in CD-quality 48khz WAV format. They have also released limited edition "Transall Collector's Boxes" handmade by German bookbinder Cornelia Ahnert to house the Transall series.

On ‘Ivic’, his debut lp, Saele Valese, distills hauntological noise, droning tonal experiments and minimalist rhythms into a series of electro-acoustic-wave ventures written overfive years in Berlin, Saas-fee and Thun.

Drawing influences from the psychoacoustic properties of the live album format, Ivic’s 11 tracks were mixed and recorded live on dat cassettes and through daw experimentation, without the possibility to revise the final recordings. Valese adopted this approach to conceptually propose reconciliations between the irreversibility of the past, and acceptance of its residuals in the present. The track titles themselves follow this pathos, citing the works of the American photographer Francesca Woodman and the poet Sylvia Plath.
