About Me

aphonia:[ey-foh-nee-uh] n. loss of the voice resulting from disease, injury to the vocal cords, or various psychological causes, such as hysteria.
Aphonia Recordings is an online record label specializing in experimental, electroacoustic, microtonal, and odd pop music. Our goal as a label is to facilitate and encourage the release, promotion, and exposure of material that might not otherwise see the light of day. Through online sales, distribution, and consumer-based production we hope to attain this goal.

Aphonia Recordings also hosts a monthly performance series at Gallery 1412 (Seattle) on the 1st friday of each month. This series features a wide variety of aphonia recording & performance artists.
THE PRECAMBRIAN
Aphonia Recordings' founders, Ben L. Robertson & Andrew Senna, team-up to explore the spectral transfiguration of minute sounds and vocalizations. Viewed as a setting, The Precambrian is an interactive synthesis environment/instrument engineered by Robertson using the graphical programming language, Max/MSP. Meanwhile, Senna (armed with a handful of homemade piezoelectric transducers, microphones, & field recordings) executes a series of absurd one-act narratives, indicative of both his sound design work for film & his theatrically-charged compositions.
