OUTPUTS label releases Sampler1 compilation of artists' music, exploring boundaries of sound art
OUTPUTS has released Sampler1, a new album featuring contributions from Cory Arcangel, Rosa Barba, and Seth Price, which can be downloaded on Bandcamp, with a Spotify debut set for 1 December 2023. Established in 2021 by Nik Void and Haroon Mirza and currently overseen by Jack Jelfs, OUTPUTS is dedicated to the realms of music and visual art. Highlights include Barba's audio from her 2009 film Let Me See It, Simnett's track 'Firefly', and Arcangel's 17-minute white noise piece 'currentmood'. Jelfs's 'Morning Image' incorporates post-junglist rhythms, while Price presents a glitchy sound collage. The label prioritizes digital releases, with a few limited physical copies, reflecting on the convergence of music and non-music, reminiscent of the 1973 exhibition The Record as Artwork.
