On January 1st, 1997, Taylor Deupree founded 12k, a record label that focuses on minimalism and contemporary musical forms. In September 2000, Deupree and sound artist Richard Chartier formed LINE, a sublabel of 12k that curates its continuing documentation of compositional and installation work by composers exploring the aesthetics of contemporary and digital minimalism. In January 2002 (as a celebration of 12k’s fifth anniversary) Deupree launched term., an online series of MP3 releases. While 12k’s emphasis lies not only in sound but also on design and presentation, term. exists entirely in the digital domain with no physical object or package. In September, 2003, Deupree started a 3rd record label called Happy to promote unconventional japanese pop. Happy was born from Deupree’s interest in Japanese pop and the fact that it is quite unknown outside of Japan.In 12k/LINE’s 10 years of existence the labels have released over 80 CDs (and now a DVD) by a roster of international sound artists and has developed into two of the most respected experimental electronic labels in the world.Taylor Deupree + Richard Chartier continue to present new and innovative works by sound artists and electronic composers on 12k/LINE.12k discography:12k2008: SOLO ANDATA / SEAWORTHY / TAYLOR DEUPREE - LIVE IN MELBOURNE
