Not on Label
Not on Label is a Spanish experimental music label (1959-2002) known for its diverse formats and interdisciplinary soundscapes.
About
Not on Label, a spectral entity, etched its presence in Spain's experimental music realm from 1959 to 2002, operating within the liminal spaces of sound and vision. A sprawling catalog — 204 releases — sculpted through diverse formats: cassette, LP, VHS, reel. This label wasn't a traditional gatekeeper but a conduit for interdisciplinary works that echoed through time. Einstürzende Neubauten, Sisters of Mercy, Laibach — names that resonate within the experimental sphere — found their way into this archive. The label's offerings ranged from the tactile manipulation of tape in Bret Hart’s "Dinner Music for the Anorexic" (1994) to the conceptual realms of the "Proposta" video series, culminating in 2002. Not on Label's catalog is a kaleidoscope of process-driven endeavors, each release a fractal of the broader experimental ethos. Among its pivotal moments: The vinyl release of Death in June’s "The March Of The Lonely" (1999), a resonant artifact within the cultural framework of its time. The Proposta series, with its video art orientation, marked a significant contribution to the visual soundscape, capturing the ephemeral nature of performance and sound in motion.
