IMPROVISATION . AVANT GARDE . EXPERIMENTAL
Welcome! My name is Tonino Miano. I am a pianist/composer and the founder of this new label, which will focus (at the present) on my own work, and the work accomplished in collaboration with other musicians. If you’re here you probably have a penchant for adventurous music, music for thought. Indeed, a lot of thought goes into the music we'd like you to listen to. But there’s something else that has increasingly become important to us: how you consume it. As you probably already know conventional CD jewel cases are extremely difficult to recycle. And yet we keep using them indiscriminately, despite the fact that most of our CDs end up stripped to their bare constituents and sleeved in an album not long after they are bought. Accordingly we're using a 100% recycled cardboard sleeve, and eliminated altogether the need for a front and back tray slip by using custom made rubber stamps. All the basic information is available to you without the use of extra paper. You can find more information, listen to sample of our music, and purchase it right here using paypal. We strongly suggest you download our music instead of buying the CD, but if you prefer to own it we'll gladly send it to you knowing that we've done our best to minimize it's impact on the environment. Every cover is stamped by hand, so yours will be a one of a kind! Just a small contribution to a cleaner life. Thank you for visiting!
