N-009 . Noto . Time..Dot

Time..Dot is part of the award-winning series “20′ To 2000 – Twelve releases about the cutting edge of the Millenium”, released in 1999. Coming in a plastic clamshell case, the CD was 5″ in diameter, but only the inner 3″ was playable, as the outer edge was made of clear plastic. Within these central three inches are the works of twelve artists, who were invited to produce a unique piece for the last twenty minutes of the year 1999. The duration of the CD was 20’17”, reflecting the project’s concept of imagining the last twenty minutes of the millennium as a transition, or a new beginning. The series, intended as a sonic statement for the next century, was started by NOTON and included works by Ryoji Ikeda, Scanner, CoH, Ilpo Väisänen, and Komet among others. It received the Ars Electronica Golden Nica award the following year.
