Raster-Noton

Raster-noton.archiv für ton und nichtton (usually known as Raster-Noton) is an electronic music label based in . It resulted from the fusion of two previous labels (noton.archiv für ton und nichtton) in the last months of 1999. At the time of their merging, the two labels had been collaborating on releases since 1996.

Rastermusic was founded by Frank Bretschneider in 1996. Their priority was to publish a series with a specific philosophy of music and sound composition: in particular, repetitive or minimal music with pop leanings.

Noton.archiv für ton und nichtton was founded by 20' To 2000 series released in 1999 and 2000.

Following recent 20th anniversary celebrations, the founders announced in 2017 that the Raster-Noton label will be restructured. As a matter of fact, the company has split in two: Olaf Bender will run Noton (representing all past and future projects of Alva Noto).

Raster-Noton has a sublabel named Wavetrap.

In 2017, the label split up back into two distinct entities: Raster, which would continue to be run by Bender, and Noton, focusing on Nicolai's output.
