A DIY label which specialises in experimental electronica and improvised music. Formed in 2000 it’s run by the Sound manipulator / Improvising musician Ian Simpson (aka Noise Research) and is non profit making which enables the label to release exactly what it wants (ie: what it likes). Ian is based in the U.K.

Ian’s improvising electronics project “LDT” was the original driving force behind this when he realised that the potential of the Internet was huge for musicians and artists such as himself who would attract no interest from commercial labels. Hence the catalogue is available only through the Internet or at live events.
