Byetone

Byetone is the musical alias of Olaf Bender, a pioneering electronic music producer and visual artist from Germany. Co-founder and driving force behind the influential Raster-Noton label, Bender has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of minimal techno and experimental electronic music since the late 1990s. Known for his meticulously crafted soundscapes, Byetone fuses razor-sharp rhythms with stark, digital textures, creating compelling audiovisual experiences that push the boundaries between music and art.

Through critically acclaimed releases such as "Death of a Typographer" and "Symeta," and electrifying live performances globally, Byetone has garnered a reputation as both an innovator and a master technician. His aesthetic is marked by a relentless pursuit of sonic precision, marrying stripped-down beats and dynamic visual elements to evoke a sense of hypnotic, clinical intensity.
