Siccum Records is a small, independent record label specializing in small runs of experimental music. By "experimental" I do not mean any particular style which has congealed around the term "experimental"; as the founder of Siccum Records (myself) has no loyalty to a particular scene and has tastes in music which run the gamut through classical, jazz, noise, musique concrete, industrial, ambient, drone, and chiptune on one hand, and more easily digested music on the other, less exciting hand. Siccum Records is concerned with the music on the less easily digested hand. Siccum Records, as a whole prefer creativity over pointless torturing the audience; that is to say, we got the joke a long time ago and its not funny anymore. That's not to say that negative and abrasive aesthetics or topics aren't allowed or even discouraged, simply that they should not stand in for a destructive lack of creativity.
Siccum Records started with my music, Dry Eyes, which started as a post-industrial, dark ambient fusion and went in a million different directions from there. After quite a few Dry Eyes releases in a short period of time, I released an Alpha Cygni album, Alpha Cygni simply being a space ambient side-project of mine.
Soon, Siccum Records will release an album by diigitae, a French noise musician.
"Siccum" is Latin for "dry".
Releases are to be on CD mostly, but also the occasional tape. It is possible that you may see Siccum Records lathe-cuts or even vinyl in the future.
Siccum Records releases can be bought at http://siccumrecords.bandcamp.com/
