Ex Sonis

About

Ex Sonis is an underground record label specializing in experimental and industrial music, with a pronounced emphasis on tape-based formats. The label's catalog demonstrates a commitment to conceptual, often site-specific or geographically-inspired sound works, as evidenced by releases like the four-part "Hormigas" series (Huevo, Larva, Pupa, and Imago) and titles referencing Brazilian locations such as "Sao Paulo / Manaus" and "O Parladoiro." The label's aesthetic prioritizes cassette releases as the primary format, reflecting a broader underground ethos that privileges tactile, analog media and DIY production values over mass-market accessibility. The thematic coherence across Ex Sonis releases suggests a curatorial vision focused on immersive soundscapes and field recordings, positioning the label within the wider experimental and electroacoustic music communities. While specific founding details remain limited in available documentation, Ex Sonis's catalog indicates an ongoing dedication to releasing challenging, process-oriented work by artists engaged with environmental and phenomenological sound exploration.
