Raster-Media Label Night

Since its founding in 1996, raster has established itself as an international artistic platform and a label for experimental electronic music which would not be imaginable without the diverse engagement of its associated artists. It was founded with the aim of releasing groundbreaking electronic music and wants to create and maintain spaces for future-oriented experiments. Serial concepts are being pursued, and audiovisual forms of presentation of electronic music were the focus already at an early stage.

In addition to music which has influenced subsequent generations through production techniques, raster also published books (awarded), data carriers (awarded) and graphics, among others. Another aspect includes activities such as installation works, often realized in collaboration with well-known institutions such as ZKM / Karlsruhe, TodaysArt / The Hague, Lenbachhaus / Munich, Ruhrtriennale / Bochum and the Museum of Contemporary Art / Toronto.

Since 2005, raster has also been hosting a well-known, non-commercial music festival. Originally initiated as a private party, the "Electric Campfire" was an annual guest of the German Academy Villa Massimo in Rome between 2007 and 2017. Since 2018, the festival has been taking place at different locations every year. Its aim is to bring artists and community into real exchange.
