"I like to allow accidents to happen, Not to force them, And yet not let myself feel miserable if they do happen, Because they are so often the best things. — Kevin Drumm
This weekend, we're setting the price of every in-stock single-CD album on the Canadian Ambiances Magnetiques label to $10, including many titles that have never been discounted before. Born from a collective of extraordinary musicians, the adventurous label has long moved freely between improvisation, jazz, contemporary composition and experimental forms. The sale begins with more than 100 albums, and many are the last copies on our shelves, so take a good look through the list before they're snatched up!

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.
The Stateless Trio: In the Sunrise of Some Other World
Developed through remote, spontaneously layered exchanges between the Philippines, Malaysia, and Minnesota, Rick Countryman's alto flute, replacing his customary alto saxophone, joins Richard Allan Bates' electric bass and effects and Steve Hirsh's reflective drumming in an organically connected improvisation of spacious textures, subtle rhythmic tension, and lyrical interaction.
