Squid Note Records is our in-house label created to support adventurous new recordings. We launched Squid Note Records to release music we believe in — directly, carefully, and fairly. But we didn't set out with a formal plan to start a label. Squid Note grew from conversations with artists who trusted us and asked for a way to release work that might not otherwise find its audience.
So this isn't simply "our" label. It's something we are building together with the musicians themselves. The direction is shaped as much by the artists as by us — a collaborative effort grounded in mutual respect and shared commitment; each release is an equal partnership.
Ivo Perelman / Damon Smith: Duologue 6: Core of Existence The sixth entry in Ivo Perelman's expanding Duologues series, and the sixth album in Squidco's digital label Squid Note Records, pairs his searching tenor saxophone with Damon Smith's commanding double bass, a freely improvised exchange of raw physical immediacy and deep listening, where intertwining lines, extended techniques and spontaneous form turn dialogue itself into the core of the music.
