About
Audion Recording Co is an independent record label that emerged in the mid-1980s, establishing itself as a notable presence in the experimental and underground music community. Based on its release catalog, the label demonstrated a commitment to avant-garde and experimental compositions, issuing material primarily on vinyl LP format between 1986 and 1988. The label's output reflects an aesthetic oriented toward conceptual and exploratory music, as evidenced by releases such as "The Audion Sampler" (1986), which served as an introduction to the label's artistic vision, alongside thematically evocative titles like "Mythos," "Sacred Cities," "Reflections," "Catspaw," and "Ancient Evenings." These releases suggest the label's interest in introspective and experimental soundscapes. While the label's active period appears to have been relatively brief, concentrated in the latter half of the 1980s, Audion Recording Co carved out a significant niche within the independent music landscape, supporting artists working at the margins of conventional musical genres and contributing to the broader underground experimental music community of that era.
