More than a record label…
This is not a new idea at Falling Mountain—since its founding in 1991, we have strived for it to be the “anti-label”, a place where you, the listener, is viewed as an active partner in the creative process. While the role of the traditional record label has been irrevocably changed, and in many cases rendered irrelevant, our mission remains the same—to deliver the rich spectrum of fine traditional and contemporary Acoustic Music to discerning listeners worldwide.
But much has changed in the way we all produce and consume music—and Falling Mountain responds to these new, exciting developments with enthusiasm and a renewed sense of purpose. Today, right now, Falling Mountain’s artists may produce a recording without actually spending any face-time with the other players on the project; instead, with the use of sophisticated audio and video tools, we can render these works from many different locations, studios, time zones.
Synergy has always been a hallmark at Falling Mountain—we don’t let geography compromise that, whether it’s between the musicians or between the artists and the listener. Today you want the music now, with as few obstacles as possible. You don’t wait to hear the music on the radio; you download it directly from our website. When you come to a performance, you can go home with not just a CD, but a recording of that performance, that special moment of synergy of which you were part as a member of the audience. Or perhaps you view the concert via webcast, in the comfort and convenience of home.
Live concerts, webcasts. Traditional studio projects, live recordings done in real time. Direct downloads, compact discs. Radio, podcasts to your iPod. Our goal will always be to draw as direct a line as possible between the music and the listener. We value that synergy enough to make that possible in all the ways you enjoy the music.
