the box includes cd ep releases from the label's artists who contributed to the raster-noton event at taktlos 2000 in bern, switzerland. komet, COH, noto and byetone form what can be referred to as the "core" of raster-noton - the label that for several years has been a platform to manifest their ideas of art, music and graphic design. the pieces of music contributed to these releases supposedly reflect upon the label's reference points as well as can be seen as the artists' vision of raster-noton.
the ep »modul 4« by carsten nicolai aka noto opens up a soundspace of deep, overlayed bass frequencies combined to a smooth piece of music. perfectly arranged wave files that seem to be the most achievable unison of structure and sound.
byetone and komet both provide more rhythm-driven tracks. while byetone's remixes seem to be oriented towards cinema dramaturgy, komet's work is structurally more interconnected within a continuous flux.
the COH ep appears to be a sonic interpretation of a drawing by D42, who also contributed to the event at taktlos 2000 with his graphic/visual work. the drawing is the actual title of the ep.
