about

This years Antihistamine No Synth compilation leads the label into its fifth year. Its feels strange to have reached this milestone, it seems to have happened so fast. Like my kid, the label seems to have grown up so quickly. When I started the label (back then it was meant to be all synth free) I had imagined I would either do this forever or fold in a couple of years. While I have had to cut back significantly on the number of releases per year, I have kept going so maybe I'll make it to the forever part?

This years theme is water. I have acquired over the past couple of years an obsession with field recordings of water, in particular hydrophone recordings. My first taste of this was with the works of Manja Ristic. The way she combines water recordings with ethereal drones, just feels like the perfect music to my ear. It makes for exquisit deep listening, it can sit in the background as a companion to creative work, or it help lull me to sleep. Following Ristic I quickly discovered Jez Riley French, Cheryl E Leonard, Moltamole, and a whole host of field recordists from labels like forms of minutiae, mappa, Flaming Pines, sirr-ecords, and students of decay. So the call out was simple: send me something that in someway suggests water. Bonus points for actual field recordings of water. What I received, as in past years, was a surprising variety of interpretations of this theme.

Thanks to all the artists and listeners who have spent the last 5 years with me. To another 5!
