So Called Records presents Zilvinas Stumbras with Overtone
Despite its music-label-like appearance The SCR is a rather situational and fluid project. It's very different from membership-based group or organization since it's intentionally ephemeral and not directed towards any fixed identity (how much of a difference the project can encompass - that is its hidden ambition). Therefore its identity entirely depends on the project (and its collaborators) The SCR organizes at a particular moment. So far the most stable element of the project is its name.
These are a couple of descriptions of The SCR used for different occasions:
"The So-Called Records is an open initiative of remixing, reissuing and redistributing of data."
"The So-Called Records considers everything as a database and makes conceptual and entertaining cuts making no difference between professional, amateur, high, low, global, local, etc. They consider everything as endless process of remixing and translation while adapting the idea of 'open source' to analogue reality." (Lucy E. Smith)
Zilvinas is a resident DJ of The So-Called Records NYC promoting the soulful sound of house and broken beats throughout the city's best parties, lounges, loft spots and art events. "These music and [video] art fusions consists of a DJ setup, replete with installations of moving images onscreen and a full dancefloor." (BPM mag)
Zilvinas is also a founder of Bagpak Music publishing company celebrating the latest 12" release - Overtone "Give It Again" with remixes by Inverse Cinematics, Dither Down & Dublicate - on a well respected NYC Redbud label. Advanced copies of which are being played by Gilles Peterson, Bugz In The Attic, Francois K, Jazzanova, Andrew Jervis, J-Boogie, Karl Injex and many others.
