"How Cuneiform Records has remained a label ‘in opposition’ for the past 40 years". Lo spiega Steve Feigenbaum a Mathew Schumer di CapitalBop, in chiusura dei festeggiamenti per l'invidiabile traguardo tagliato dall'etichetta nell'anno appena concluso.
"2024 has been a momentous year for Cuneiform Records: our 40th anniversary as an independent record label internationally devoted to innovative music. Since our founding in 1984 in Washington DC's DMV - downtown Silver Spring, MD - Cuneiform has released well over 500 high quality recordings by both avant garde icons and young rising stars, and premiered both new recordings and previously unreleased archival gems. Our label name came obliquely from the earliest known form of writing, because cuneiform was a distinctive and radically innovative form of recording / recorded information. Our goal was to release New Music: innovative recorded sound. And thus, for the past near-half century, Cuneiform Records released and promoted cutting edge recordings that charted the course of music to come, championing groundbreaking artists from around the world, new boundary-defying musical genres, and revolutionary new music. We've met challenges over the decades. But we've persisted in our dream to serve as a platform for music that's beyond the mainstream and deserves to be heard - because that music is what paves the way for the future."
