<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sadly due to parcels being held up at Canada
Customs, there will not be any raster-noton or 12K cd's at tonight's show...but
don't let that stop you, when you can have the real thing and rare appearances
as well! Only three stops on this brief r-n North American run. There will be
plenty of time to get the new releases via the label directly or from Eric
Mattson in Montreal: <A

is one of the premier imprints fusing minimal electronic music / installation
art / visual presentation and graphic design. "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. emerged from the fusion of the two labels
rastermusic and noton (in 1999), they realize music projects, publications and
installation works. The common idea behind all releases is an experimental
approach — an amalgamation of sound, art and design. So far the catalogue of the
label consists of about 74 releases. Most of the projects follow the concept of
a series with contributions by very different artists such as: Frank
Bretschneider, William Basinski, alva noto, Ivan Pavlov aka COH, Ryoji Ikeda,
Ryuichi Sakamoto, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Senking, Richard Chartier, Pixel,
Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic), Robert Lippok etc. Olaf Bender and Carsten Nicolai run
raster-noton and the label is based in Chemnitz, Germany. <BR><BR><STRONG>OLAF
BENDER</STRONG> is a founding member of the Raster-Noton label, as well as its
lead designer. Bender (formerly known as Byetone) creates his music digitally,
assembling sine tones into complex sound fabrics of deep sub-bass and rhythmic
clicks and crackles. He creates abstract animations to support his abstract
music -in this way the rhythm of music is transformed into a graphic equivalent,
which Bender controls in real time. <BR><BR><STRONG>FRANK BRETSCHNEIDER</STRONG>
is a founding member of Raster-Noton and one of the pioneering figures in ultra
minimal post techno. Using the most basic sound sources--sine waves and white
noise--Bretschneider creates minimal, flowing pieces with delicate textures and
complex rhythmic patterns. Frank's new album "Rhythmic" will be released this
week in Barcelona at the Sonar Festival. TORONTO DEBUT
<BR><BR><STRONG>SENKING</STRONG> is Cologne's Jens Massel, who also records as
Fumble and as part of Poto & Cabengo. As Senking, Massell makes darkly
atmospheric music that is deep, dubby, and intensely cinematic. His most recent
CD, List, is out now on Raster-Noton. TORONTO DEBUT <BR><BR><STRONG>SANS
SOLEIL</STRONG> aka Michael Trommer is a Toronto based producer and visual
artist who has recorded for such electronic music labels as Transmat, Wave,
Truffle, Interchill, Nice'N'Smooth, Dragonfly, Ultra-Vista, Instinct, Impact,
Liquid Sound Design and Dakini. He records under his own name, as well as
aliases such as 'Sans Soleil" Broad-minded in his approach to electronic music,
Michael also creates gallery-based audio installation work. 2005 saw him
creating a site-specific sound installation for Australia’s ‘Liquid
Architecture’ exhibition. Another of his recent works was a net-based
audio-manipulation project which was part of the ‘from 0 to 1 and back again’
exhibition at Kunsthalle Schirn in Frankfurt; this became the subject of many
radio specials on both Deutsche Welle and Hessischer Rundfunk. In 2000, his work
was nominated for the Prix Italia for experimental music. His field-recording
based material has been featured on London’s Resonance FM, </FONT><A
