PSI

Evan Parker begins a new chapter in the work he started in 1970 with Incus Records.  After leaving Incus and a long period of working with other independent labels, Evan has decided to start a new label of his own (in association with Martin Davidson of Emanem).

Much has changed in the intervening years.  The LP format with all its attendant technical woes and disappointments has been replaced by the CD; the technology and economics have changed markedly in favor of the small independent producer; a whole global culture for improvised music has developed.

Obviously neither the idea of free music nor the small musician controlled label are the news they were back then.   As one of the pioneers in the field, Evan Parker is optimistic.

"I called it [the label] PSI for all the associations with irrational numbers, golden ratios etc but above all for the Psi phenomena which I am convinced are at the heart of improvised music making." -- Evan Parker
