ARCHI About
Archigramophone Recordings was founded by Paul Dickow and Ethan Swan in 1998. We are based in Portland, Oregon, USA. The label is dedicated to putting out experimental music of all kinds in a "small press" format, favoring small print runs and working with small and local businesses whenever possible. In so doing we hope to make new music accessible, as well as provide archival-quality documents of music we consider exceptional. Further information can be gained by contacting us directly, we encourage contact by email or snailmail.
Regarding "demos" and other forms of audio correspondance: while some labels discourage sending demos, we expect and demand unsolicited materials. We need to be honest and state that we will probably never have the money to 'sign' a group so please don't hope we can release your record! Aside from this there are many good reasons to send demos: we can provide you with DIY record-making resources, help make connections, provide constructive criticism and pleasant conversation, etc. We also like having new surprise music appear in our PO Box! Send us any kind of recording media except mp3s via email (server may choke).
A few notes about the site: website was designed by Paul Dickow with massive amounts of programming expertise, time and energy donated by Web Guru Bob Dickow. If you find any bugs please email paul@archigramophone.com.
