Living in eirkti…
More than just a simple independent music label, eirkti constitutes a basic point of reference for the music that we are in fond of, the kind of music that we keep on listening to, following, loving and supporting. We continue enjoying years of ..liberating imprisonment? in a musical context that determines and is being determined by the way that we experience reality. However, we judged and we judge that this way of experiencing reality does not solely refer to an experience of our own friendly companionship. On the contrary, it constitutes an experience of many musical friends out there who seek supporters and fellow-travelers in this long travel of in-ter-est : …and eirkti can only promise that it will perform all its best in order to maintain that in-ter-est alive.
In this way:
We undertook an extensive effort of communicating with a series of artists, prominent members of a more obscure and underground culture. Grounded on their unconditional support we decided to reinvest in the authentic musical works of a distant era. Those works are centered on the wider ‘dark sound spectrum' , the one that the French characterized as .. cold wave ' or the one that most of us know as .. dark wave '. Additional terms such as .. new wave ', .. post punk ' or .. minimal synth ' do also comprise the frame of our musical endeavor. Under all circumstances, it is the music listener who will decide to label a ..musical work' just as it is the reader who will determine a book's fate.
We recognized the need of numerous musical fans to listen to and collect musical pieces of work which were either long out of print or which had never been released even in the least reliable format (e.g., cassette). In the first case, we will re-release works, by demonstrating at the same time our tension to stand up against the phenomenon of a continuous sacrifice of artistic work in the name of vicious trade . In the second case, we contribute to the re-establishment - at last!!! – concerning musical pieces of art that due to unlucky reasons remained either unreleased or of a strictly limited circulation.
We decided to support our beloved music format: Vinyl . As we, ourselves, have been vinyl collectors for many years, we considered the specific format not only as a very reliable one but also as the one most germane to our aesthetic preferences and notion. Therefore, -and dependent upon circumstances- our aim is that eirkti's releases will be mostly, if not exclusively, on vinyl.
