cmr.co.nz

http://www.involve.co.nz/
Involve records has released material from a diverse group of artists. They range in age, experiences and outlook, but somehow share a similar sound. Words often fail to explain the range of emotions music inspires, but if one could be used to encapsulate the sound it is 'ambisonics'. Future releases from Involve are set to further test the boundaries between indie pop and electronica, from the beautifully simple guitar drifts of Slow Moe to the equally affecting electronica indie of Voicechanger.

ArchHill Recordings

If we have to put a name on it, which I guess wed rather not, the genre we are most closely associated with is NZ indie pop/rock. Bands on Arch Hill Recordings usually tend to like music that manages to combine a great sparkling tune with something a bit different; like a few left-of-center experimental tricks, sonic inventions or perhaps just some plain whacked out weirdness Arch Hill Recordings acts include Pine, David Kilgour, Fang, Ghostplane, David Mulcahy, Lanky, Red Drum, Dappled Cities Fly and Ben & Greta.

Hertz Records
Hertz Records has been set up in response to the large number of artists, bands,etc in New Zealand‰who are self releasing material..This material may be on lathe-cut acetate,home-burnt CD,tape,whatever.This often amazing material currently only circulates through friends,or is available at the bands/or artists gigs,with no real centralised collection point. Hertz Records will try to be that collection point. It is a non-profit site where you can buy and sell such recordings.The musicians represented will have one main thing in common : that they are all promoting self-funded and/or self released work.

INTERNATIONAL

www.sigmaeditions.com
Sigma Editions was founded in 1998 by Rosy Parlane and Dion Workman. Parlane and Workman began working together in New Zealand in 1993 as the improvising trio Thela with Dean Roberts. After moving to Melbourne, Australia in 1997 the pair decided to launch a label to release their own work and the work of new artists they admired. The name sigma refers to Scottish/Italian writer Alexander Trocchi's plan for a utopian international artistic/political community. In 1999 the label relocated to Rotterdam, the Netherlands and in 2000 to London, UK. Sigma Editions is currently based in New York and continues to release new experimental music.
