Povesteam ieri cu o buna amica cu care impart multe gusturi comune - nu foarte multe, caci altfel nu am mai avea ce discuta - despre cat de minunate sunt label-urile micute, editurile private care scot tot felul de albume sau alte materiale facute la mana sau mecanic (nu digital), artistii care isi inregistreaza albumele acasa si isi creeaza ei singuri artwork-urile etc.

Un astfel de label micut este si cel al lui Richard Skelton, muzician la randul sau, numit Sustain-Release:

Sustain-Release is the private press of UK artist Richard Skelton. He started the label in 2005 as a commemorative tribute to his late wife Louise, with the intention of publishing her artwork alongside his own musical offerings. Since its inception he has released a series of raw and beautiful recordings presented in lovingly assembled, limited-edition pressings.

De sunteti curiosi sa aflati si sa ascultati mai multe, iata deja cateva link-uri.

P.S. Cautand info despre artistii de mai sus, am dat, asa cum se intampla de obicei, peste zeci de alte chestiuni interesante:

Claudia Märzendorfers & Nik Hummer: Frozen Records [pentru mai multe info, a se vedea link-urile oferite in cadrul postului respectiv]

In stark contrast to the immutability of contemporary methods of sound storage – the digital world of mp3s, wavs and AIFFs – the artist has chosen a storage medium that disintegrates almost immediately.
