“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 not only apparent in the music, but also visible from the artwork and cover design.
The collective label's aesthetic focus is on rhythmic, minimal electronic music alternating between playful pop and introspection.

20' to 2000
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). This series received the "Golden Nica" award from Ars Electronica in 2000.
