Piano

About

Piano is a record label active during the late 1970s and 1980s, documented through a small but distinctive catalog of experimental and avant-garde releases. The label's four known releases span from 1977 to 1986, encompassing both cassette and vinyl formats, suggesting flexibility in production methods typical of independent labels of the era. The roster included artists working in experimental and industrial music, notably featuring works such as Grey Scale and Health And Efficiency, alongside more compositionally structured material including a release drawing from Faust. The label's brief but concentrated output positions it within the broader underground and experimental music community of its period, representing a time when independent labels played crucial roles in documenting and distributing non-commercial avant-garde work. While specific geographic location and founding details remain unclear from available documentation, Piano's release strategy and artist selection reflect the aesthetic values of the post-industrial and experimental music underground of the late 20th century.
