About
Project was an independent record label active during the 1980s, primarily focused on releasing experimental and underground music on cassette format. Operating during the formative years of the industrial and experimental music scenes, the label documented artists working in abstract and innovative sonic territories. Based on the catalog of five releases between 1984 and 1987, Project maintained a consistent commitment to cassette releases, a format that became increasingly significant within underground and DIY music communities of that era. The label's output, including titles such as "Diving Into Cool Waters," "The Old Lake," and "Before The Buildings Fell," suggests an interest in atmospheric and introspective experimental work. While details about specific artists and the label's geographic origin remain limited in available documentation, Project's catalog represents an important snapshot of the underground cassette culture that flourished during the mid-1980s, a period when independent labels played a crucial role in distributing avant-garde and experimental music outside mainstream commercial channels. The label's brief but focused discography reflects the aesthetic values of underground music communities of that period.
