Texas Music Forge is an Austin, Texas-based indie label. Acts include "deep lit" chill and ambient tracks from The Twelfth Night Project, bedrock American roots music from Ed Kliman, two contemporary soundtrack albums done in collaboration with the Austin Shakespeare Festival and music/audiodrama series History’s Greatest Love Affairs.
We are an Internet-only (at least at the moment) label which also administers the catalog and current work of Ed Kliman. Most of our work is 224 kb Mp3 files with near-CD sound quality. All of our work is available on a "pay what you want" basis for download. As our motto says, "It’s a brave new world - we’ve got the soundtrack."
