Part of the Raster Clear Series, originally released in 2000. This is a mixed-media Noto EP. Mixed media in that there's both audio and visual information on the CD. How you use this CD: wire your CD player into your VCR, with the left channel into the video input, the right into the audio input (although it's irrelevant which you plug where as they're identical signals). Then sit back and watch, listen, and learn. And it works. Sonically, it's a series of rising tones and test jolts. Visually, it's a bunch of wavering (damn helical scan) horizontal lines of growing thickness, occasional bursts of pure white, and often complete darkness (echoes of Kubelka's Arnulf Rainer abound). It's either a carefully-plotted exercise or a complete happy accident. Highly enjoyable either way, especially in shuffle mode (some tracks are very short, others are longer).
