Gold and Ashes
Our first object of inquiry and care should be life. We know the reason for that as we are living beings in a situation in which the conditions of life are endangered. What has no place in this ecological discourse is death. The fact that death is difficult to acknowledge is not new, but in our contemporary situation, death has a new face.Gold and Ashes extends beyond representation to become an intimate act of excavation that proposes to mediate—materially, politically, and metaphysically—the r…

Independent Television
Independent Television unspools as a delirious, inside-out broadcast from the suburbs of perception. Arek Gulbenkoglu and Matthew Revert orchestrate a hall-of-mirrors soundtrack where the casual and the uncanny trade places, inviting listeners to attune themselves to the mutable psychic frequencies flickering just beyond the edge of comprehension.
Old Tales Retold
Austere and uncanny, Old Tales Retold finds Yan Jun and Taku Unami delving into narrative fragmentation and acoustic twilight, constructing an album that feels less like a recounting and more like listening in on the pulse of folklore as it dissolves. Sonic atmosphere fractures as much as it reveals, leaving the listener suspended between recollection and anticipation.
We Built This City on Skrot och Plåt
You are about to enter a new world of intermedia art. We Built This City on Skrot och Plåt is an interactive installation in the form of a video game.

The game raises and examines questions about cities changing and who and what is allowed to exist within them. It a…

Sudden Music
Music, said Zen patriarch Hui Neng, "is a means of rapid transformation." It takes us home to a natural world that functions outside of logic, where harmony and dissonance, tension and release work in surprising ways. Weaving memoir, travelogue, and philosophical reflection, Sudden Music presents a musical way of knowing that can closely engage us with the world and open us to its spontaneity.Improvisation is everywhere, says David Rothenberg, and his book is a testament to its creative, surpris…

Early Works
Bill Fontana investigates the physics of perception itself. Side A: tape collages where sound becomes both material and force. Side B: Wave Spiral for 5 Rin Gongs - a sidelong, 21-minute centerpiece where pure sine waves create interference patterns, frequency made sculptural. Sound spiraling through space, dissolving boundaries between observer and phenomenon.
Beach of the Pliocene
Beach of the Pliocene, a sought-after release by Ken-ichiro Isoda, epitomizes Japanese ambient’s capacity to conjure landscape and memory. The album blends flute, guitar and environmental sounds in a meditative journey that merges gently melodic lines with the resonance of the ocean, functioning equally as a balm for modern anxieties and a portal for contemplative listening.
Oacis
**2025 Stock** As regards content, acoustics and optics, raster-noton.oacis goes beyond the momentary. The texts by top writers like Rob Young (The Wire), Pinky Rose, Peter Kraut (NZZ) and Martin Pesch (e.g. Frieze, Spex, Kunstforum) examine how raster-noton works on the cutting edge of electronic music, computer graphics and video animation, with which supreme ease the label moves between pop/club culture and the fine arts.

Music on Paper by Chance (Score)
A rare printed score on parchment paper, approximately A3 size. Originally folded and sent as an invitation card to an exhibition, this work embodies Suzuki's philosophy of listening, chance, and the spatial dimensions of sound. Akio Suzuki (*1941 Pyongyang) is known as a pioneer of sound art, but the breadth of his activities and the form of his works far exceeds the normal boundaries of sound art. It is perhaps more as a "quester after sound and space" that he has received the most attention f…
