Altered States Recordings

About

Altered States Recordings is an underground record label operating within the industrial and experimental music community. Based on the available catalog, the label has demonstrated a commitment to releasing avant-garde and experimental works primarily on cassette format, a choice that reflects both aesthetic and practical considerations common to independent labels in the underground music scene. The label's catalog includes releases such as "Ambiguitas," "A Beast / Muik für die Katzenstunde," and "The Dark Tapes," suggesting an interest in abstract, challenging compositions and collaborative projects. The cassette-based approach positions Altered States Recordings within a broader lo-fi and DIY ethos that has characterized portions of the experimental music underground. While limited discographic information is available, the label appears to function as a platform for artists working at the margins of conventional music distribution, supporting sonic exploration and unconventional production methodologies consistent with independent experimental music practices.
