Bleep Podcast 003 – Raster Noton Special
Published: 20.10.10 Download MP3
Created from the mergence of labels rastermusic and noton in 1999, Raster-Noton has become the leading platform for experimental electronic sound. Blurring the boundaries between music, installations and publications, the overarching aesthetic is of the highest fidelity. Based in Chemnitz / Germany, it is run by Olaf Bender and Carsten Nicolai, who over see the production of some the most exquisite and uniquely packaged releases, Raster-Noton reinforces the fetishism of collecting physical music. The label’s stable of artists such as Alva Noto, Frank Bretschneider, Byetone and the labels supergroup Signal, together with experimental stalwarts Mika Vainio, Wolfgang Voigt and Atom TM, alongside a new generation electronic artists such as Aoki Takamasa and Grischa Lichtenberger, all create a roster that consistently challenges the perception of ‘electronic music’.

“being friends and admirers of each other’s work for a long time, electronic music composer / visual artist alva noto (carsten nicolai) and composer / voice-artist blixa bargeld (also known as singer of einstürzende neubauten and guitarist of nick cave and the bad seeds) decided to join forces to initiate a collaborative project in 2007.
together they developed a musical concept based on the combination of improvisation and abstraction. the impulsive live performance of blixa bargeld and the elaborated beat structures and sound landscapes of alva noto merge to a surprising and unexpected result. working on their own experimental material that gains its strength from the spontaneity of the live-performance of bargeld’s voice as well as rethinking traditional songs in their own special manner, they deliver an outstanding and inspiring musical blend for their audience” …via raster-noton

“In the past thirteen years Mika Vainio has exhibited in some of the major art spaces in Europe, and he has collaborated with both a number of important artists and curators. Since his musical work has been in the focus of attention, his installations have never gained the broader recognition they deserve — without good reason. In the present book, an overview will give a clear outline of this segment of his oeuvre. Also his realized soundtracks for other artists, in the genres of video, film and dance are included. Each work is presented with a significant selection of images (installation views, visuals or sketches) and an explanatory text to deliver its basic idea. In the two essays Carl Michael von Hausswolff and Daniela Cascella – longtime companions and collaborators — delicately introduce Vainio’s conceptions to further enlight the reader’s understanding. On the enclosed CDs one can find a selection of tracks created for the respective installations and soundtracks.
