After heavy doses of heavy music for far too long, 2 music fans pool some resources and max out some credit cards to bring you non-trendy, non-stupid music from likeminded weirdos and vagabonds. Our goal is not to be the cool label. We like music... we put out music. Either you're along for the ride... or not. Either way, we win.
The New Scheme #20 is out now, featuring a Majority Rule retrospective, City of Ships, My Heart To Joy, Disappearer, Beware of Safety, Quieting Syrup, and more. You can click on the cover to download the new issue.

PORTER RECORDS "FOLKANIZATION" OUT NOW !!! BY FRANCESCO GIANNICO
The fluttering of distant memories comes to life through the sounds of Francesco Giannico, whose blend of electronics and acoustic instruments paint beautiful pictures of lost times. His musical approach is described as a cinematic journey which pushes the boundaries of digital media even further by incorporating smooth melodies and gentle textures. More traditional instruments such as guitar and piano are constantly present into Francesco’s music, within interrupted structures or long and dreaming sonorous carpets.
It..s done! Our new release "0130" is now ready to order. Pressed on clear vinyl and packaged in silkscreened handnumbered cover! Strictly limited to 300 pieces! Get in touch with us for purchasing it!

OUT NOW !!!(NOVEMBER 2008) :::::::::::::::...............::::::::::::::::...........:::::::::::::::.......... '4 Sonatas for Electroacoustic Thoughts' Francesco Giannico and Stefano Spataro A HYSM PRODUCTION :::::::::::::::...............::::::::::::::::...........:::::::::::::::.......... Music by Francesco Giannico and Stefano Spataro HYSM PRODUCTIONS http://www. myspace. com/haveyousaidmidi
4 Sonatas for electroacoustic thoughts is a microcosmos of modified sounds, folk-derived loops, noise nebulas in which it is not easy to see the light. The soundscapes are rough and elusive, but well-balanced, and never excessive. The work (4 tunes for a total length of about 20 minutes) comes from a collaboration between Francesco Giannico(www. myspace. com/markhamn) and Stefano Spataro(www. myspace. com/solquestprojects). In a pragmatic sense, the album is a mix of field recordings of an audio/video installation about Taranto's Ilva (made by Francesco Giannico) and electronic oscillations/acoustic hints (by Stefano Spataro). Nonmaterial sounds, layered over and over, folk memories and Interstellar Space strikes clash with discordant string lines and melodic scraps of an unspecified nature... A calm promenade in the unease of sound.
