Hello all!
Trash Aesthetic Records is a new label with a very unique and egalitarian method of distributing music. TAR will release, in editions of 2-3 copies each, ANY material we receive. Of these copies, 1 will be given to the artist, and the other 1 or 2 will be sold through the label. The idea of Trash Aesthetic, in part, is to totally short-circuit the collector impulse in experimental music, and to encourage true experimentation on the part of the listener. Many artists featured on Trash Aesthetic will be unknown and possibly unreleased elsewhere, and the idea of this label is to provide a forum for these musicians to make a one-on-one connection with a listener. The affordable price of TAR releases will hopefully encourage some chance-taking from listeners, exploring previously unheard sounds in the form of a totally unique art object.
So anyone interested in participating in this project, please send all sounds to:
Ed Howard
112 Ambrose Ave
Malverne, NY 11565
112 Ambrose Ave
Malverne, NY 11565
Just include the artist name, title, web/email you'd like posted on the TAR site (coming soon), and address to send the finished CD to.
Seriously, EVERYTHING will be released. All you guys with huge archives of material, you prolific recorders, send something out. I think this will be a really fun and interesting experiment, and if things work out the way I envision, TAR should have 100s of releases by the end of this year. I hope to get a big variety of sounds from this.
Best,
Ed
