Update: 3rd Feb. 2025
Conceptual label Salvaged Tapes
launches the editorial project
LIGHT COURTlaunches the editorial project
to mark its 10th
anniversary.
Named after the architectural term “light court,” the project aims to foster a loose-knit network and mutual support system for artists who continue to operate independently, outside major labels. Unlike Salvaged Tapes’ past approach of producing music in curated collections since 2018, LIGHT COURT adopts an artist-driven referral system, focusing on digitizing previously unreleased and archival recordings.
*Note:
Initially, both titles had the same name Difference/Location on CD, avoiding taking us as fraudulent content for digitalizing, named Discrepancy/Location for Japanese title 差異/現在地.
