Why and how
In the beginning was the verb…
And its many conjugations…
And some cases of exception…
The ANGLE.REC. concept may be considered from different…angles. No perspective is good, or bad. In addition, we did not feel the need to choose a name and an imagery which would refer directly to something. However, the concept "angle" could, among others, refer to, if one wants, to those "dead angles", those grey areas initially inaccessible to the eye, the ear, to the senses in general…but nonetheless animated, vibrating and carrying mysteries if our senses dwell on them the slightest bit! Very often, the sounds and forms that take shape in those hidden areas will later be revealed into light.
It is exactly in that perspective that we choose the material that we release. Expressions and manifestos of sound echoing those grey zones, or crucibles of creativity, are favoured. Blacksmiths from here or afar, it doesn't matter. ANGLE.REC. supports works which, in one way or another, intrigue the auditor, require a certain amount of attention from him, or simply envelop him…
Our vocation is as broad as possible, but with a preference avowed for sound layers of a nightly or indefinable nature. For this reason, our various releases, on CD, vinyl or other, constitute experimental, bruitist, atmospheric or even sometimes rhythmic explorations coming essentially from the obscure side of the musical spectrum. We are committed to introduce, to the avid and interested ears, original sound textures which, in our opinion, have to be heard outside the studio of their creators!
The artists who work in the tangential sectors of electronic music, who produce cerebral atmospheric and experimental textures, who venture into the hallucinated areas of rhythmic and elastic technoid music or who, simply, devote themselves to the creation of a pure and raw sound transcoded into a hammered or deconstructed idiom may find a home in .ANGLE.REC…
