Onement is a new label who releases one-copy records on vinyl (but it's also open to other formats), run by Paris-based musician Sylvain Chauveau (Type, FatCat, DSA). Each recording is single and there will be no other pressing ever. Even the composer won't keep any copy of it.
Like a painting is unique, the Onement recordings only have one single copy. The name of the label comes from a famous series of paintings by American artist Barnett Newman.
The label will focus on electroacoustic composition and improv, experimental music, minimal drone, and field recordings.
The first Onement release (ONEMENT #1) is a unique vinyl especially composed by ROBERT HAMPSON (ex-MAIN) for the label.
The next Onement one-copy releases will be works by ANTTI RANNISTO, KEITH ROWE, SEBASTIEN ROUX, JOHN TILBURY, and PIERRE-YVES MACE.
