“1810 Sound” is the virtual record label (usually referred to nowadays as a "netlabel") for the music collective known as the "Upper Valley Psychedelic Continuum".
It is also the name of the mobile sound recording technology used by the bands and individual artists that make up the Continuum. It was founded in 1997 as a sort of imprint of the indie label Quixotic Records NYC by the seven members of "Together Market". They were the first band to make the journey from the "Island of Many Hills" to the "Upper Valley" after the dissolution of all things Quixotic.
Upon their arrival in the rural uplands the band discovered a hidden yet vibrant local musical culture (they were not the first to flee the city); they set up their makeshift recording gear in an old farmhouse and hit the “record” button. Eventually Together Market split up, but new bands were formed and found their way to the living room studio (or the studio sometimes would find them). The result of the last 13 years is reels and reels of tape of genteel psychedelic folk rock & odd experimental recordings, careful selections of which have been made available as free music files. We don't produce plastic discs, we record and distribute free music through the cloud.
This page is just one example of the free distribution tools 1810 Sound has used over the years; a list of the ones we like best follows. Thank you for your interest.
