history

The label was founded in February 2007 by the German Robert Raths. The focus of the publications is on avant-garde - new music between minimal music and electronic music . Raths defines his label as a “melting pot for innovative and imaginative musicians”.

The label's best-known artists include the German Nils Frahm , the American Peter Broderick , the Ukrainian Lubomyr Melnyk and the Icelander Ólafur Arnalds .

Since 2007, Ólafur Arnalds has drawn attention to himself with several unusual album projects. In April 2009, for example, Arnalds released the seven-song project Found Songs . The aim was to record a song every day within seven days and to distribute it immediately via Twitter and Facebook . Fans were then able to post artwork inspired by the music on Flickr . The pieces from the Found Songs project were then released as an EP on August 28, 2009.

In 2012, Arnald's first soundtrack for a Hollywood film was released on Erased Tapes , Another Happy Day . The family drama starring Ellen Barkin , Kate Bosworth and Demi Moore is the cinema debut of Sam Levinson , son of the famous US director Barry Levinson .
