2000 years
what is time, a point in time, a leap in time, the future? a series of cds attempts to formulate this question; 12 individual statements—issued monthly—each adopt a position. making full use of a year’s time span, the zeitgeist manifests itself in electronic music. in 1999, raster-noton. archive of sound and nonsound released 12 compact disks in an industrial, semi-transparent case bearing the logo of a klein bottle, a mathematical construction of an infinite space.
the logo is programmatic; 12 particles—12 x 20 min. signatures—are released into an endless space. magnetic bridges fuse the 12 cases into a self-contained object. this object could be regarded as a manifesto, a contemporary documentation, or simply as the public release of electronic music from the year 1999.
