20' TO 2000 CONSTRUCTION KIT RASTER NOTON COMPLETE
VARIOUS ARTISTS 20' TO 2000
widely known for the close interaction between experimental forms of music, art and science, raster-noton produced a new series of 12 cds, each of them 20 minutes in length. the artists' concept behind this is the creation of a piece of music for the last 20 minutes of the year 1999 as a cutting edge of the past century.
»20' to 2000« is a monthly magazine-like cd released over the last year of the millenium. in the 12 issues, 12 artists were invited to transform their ideas - possibly a manifest of the millenium - designed for the series using new technologies and characteristic translucent materials.
the series was awarded the "golden nica" from ars electronica in 2000.
