Four Tapes Records

Four Tapes is an independent record label focusing on different types of experimental electronics. The tape is a symbol referring to the music experiments in the 20th century. For us, people embedded in other time, surrounded by different technologies, is a reference to the spirit of unfettered uncompromising, pleasurable search for our own language. We use other tools. The tape is not the basic medium for us, but important support. It generates randomness, eliminates unnatural silence between successive lines of the algorithm. We are constantly looking for resources to encode what we have to say in the sounds. We are not deluding ourselves that this will be an immortal message, being an indestructible trace our being. Certainly it will pass – but it doesn’t mean that we should be silent.
