Raster-Noton

I fell in love with Raster-Noton a few weeks ago. Thanks WATMM. without it, it could have been a while since i discovered it by myself.

much love for alva noto, byetone and frank brettschneider (signal) over here.

grischa lichtenberger's ep is good, too.

My favorites are:

Noto / Sakamoto - utp cd/dvd

Atom tm - Liedgut

Alva Noto Xerrox 2

The two Kangding Ray albums

Pixel - The Drive

Wolfgang Voigt - Gas

some of the RN stuff is just too cold/digital/sparse for me.

Ditto, but there is some loveliness hidden in there too (like the aforementioned two Alvo Noto - Xerrox albums)

anyone want to buy my copy of Insen DVD by Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto?

hmmm... it's like selling Amber, i'll call the Raster Police !

Aoki Takamasa is worth checking out as well. Apart from that raster-noton release last year he's got some great stuff out on progressive form.

hot damn, this byetone album is indeed good.

it's actually an official vid though. i find the idea of alva noto releasing a promo vid really funny for some reason.

i always think carsten nicolai half-has his tongue in his cheek

whats next after ANBB?

niiice

just checked out ANBB

something about alva noto and blixa bargeld covering "one is the loneliest number" and "i wish i was a mole in the ground" is just... amazing. absolutely amazing, haha.

for those not on the raster list. this appears to be like the other books published by RN in that it is a) incredibly cool and b) not quite cool enough for me to justify the outlay of cash to my wife. quite sad, in fact

  Quote

there's a new book available on raster-noton online store from today:

 

carsten nicolai. moiré index

 

order#: r-n126

format: book + cd (data)

more information: http://www.raster-noton.net

online shop - free worldwide shipping: https://shop.raster-noton.net

 

In this book, Carsten Nicolai explores the moiré effect — a phenomenon that can be created by the overlay of lines. Although such interference patterns are mostly considered to be unwanted side effects, they are actually extremely interesting from an aesthetic perspective. This first extensive visual compendium of these patterns is accompanied by a CD that contains not only the featured moirés as digital files, but also individual elements that can be used to create an almost endless amount of new overlays.

 

hardcover, 312 pages, black/white with 14 color plates, 185x230x38 mm, includes 1 cd containing 549 free editable .svg files and 864 .pdf files, published by gestalten

 

my god, that's expensive

It's also, like, six times as large as any of the other books Raster-Noton publish.

Just as an aside, Pixel has a nice mix of R-N stuff up on Fact Magazine just now. Worth checking out.
