Persistence of Sound

Persistence of Sound is a British independent record label celebrating musique concrète, field recordings and the sounds in between. Founded in 2019 by composer Iain Chambers, the label is a recognition of the place field recordings have found in our culture, both in their raw state and as compositional material.
