NO LABEL DID THINGS THE WAY WE WANTED THEM TO BE DONE. Carsten Nicolai.

Nicolai, along with Frank Bretschneider and Olaf Bender, is one of the three founders of Raster-Noton, the minimal electronics label that, for twelve years now, has fused music with art through its sculpted sound objects and unique approach to aesthetics. The label has remained absolute in its commitment to physicality, to delivering objects of value, lovingly produced, making use of innovative design ideas, solutions and materials, while the quality of the audio product has always been a given. Earlier this year, Ryoji Ikeda (above), the arch-minimalist of Japan, resumed his relationship with the label with Test Pattern, an extraordinary album, not always easy to consume at once, but a work that, in its process particularly, perfectly reflects the stream of innovation pulsing through the digital veins of the Raster-Noton platform.
