byetone (Olaf Bendar)

Bender is a musician and cofounder of raster-noton label. He creates his music digitally. He assembles sine tones to build complex sound fabrics and uses digital clicks and effect plug-ins to create rhythms. Each track is born into an artificial world without any physical effort and visuals are employed in the sense of animated light. Abstract animations support the abstract pieces of music - in this way the rhythm of the music is transformed into a graphic equivalent. By using the computer Bender controls the animations in realtime; in combination with sound processing this enables him to interact with his audio-visual material live on stage.
