“Resonant Tapes” is a microlabel for independent electronic music. We publish records with sound collage, field recordings, drone, noise, ambient, and similar kinds of abstract sounds. This is 100% non-commercial DIY project.
We run the electronic project Instituto de Psicogeografía (alias IdP). We are open to collaborations.
For now, we have virtual presence:
We plan to have small runs of cassette tapes in the future, CD(R)s, zines and whatnot.
