Other Minds Records produces a select catalog of contemporary music exploring areas seldom touched upon by mainstream institutions. We release new works by contemporary and 20th Century composers. We also re-release selected recordings of exceptional value that are hard to find or otherwise unavailable. Making this music accessible to the public is an integral part of our mission, and the proceeds from the sales are used to further our work as new music archivists and advocates. The Other Minds Records catalog is distributed through The Business, Soundohm, Shame File Music, and AudioMoves.

Brian Baumbusch’s Polytempo Music is a first-of-its-kind interactive and immersive Virtual Reality album. Featuring a flawless recording by the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, Polytempo Music allows listeners to go inside a virtual stage where sound moves around in a fluid spatial-audio choreography. The architecture of the music is represented as an entity in 3D space, allowing us to witness the once invisible waves of music as they pulsate through virtual space like a flock of starlings painting patterns in the sky.

Thea Farhadian’s Tattoos and Other Markings is an electronic composition exploring the symbolic power of memory. After discovering a rarely discussed tattooing practice among female survivors of the Armenian Genocide, Farhadian became motivated to investigate questions about what has the power to be known and archived, what is remembered and what is forgotten. Tattoos and Other Markings is a compelling sonic search for the in-between, of remembering and forgetting, of culture in diaspora, of what we take with us and what we leave behind.
