Encyclopedia
Resipiscent is an independent record label
based in San Francisco, CA. Founded in 2005 by James Decker and Thomas Day.
The label publishes a wide range of experimental music and film. Most of its releases are extremely limited editions involving handcrafted package art. Liz Allbee's "Quarry Tones" release is packaged in heavy handsewn felt with flowers and shredded circuits scattered inside. Smegma
's "Live 91-93" relies on dumpster-dived mainstream CDs that the band then defaces to serve as packaging. The Anti-Ear "Tre Picoli" release is appears to be a 7" record but contains two mini-CD's and one mini-DVD. Aaartfystte's "22 Short Noise Videos" comes in a four color silkscreen package embellished with hand carved relief prints by Maw Zuffler. The double CD compilation "String of Artifacts" requires listeners to solve a word jumble and then a crossword puzzle in order to decode the track listing, with some bands adding to the puzzle by imitating the style of other bands. The Bran(...)Pos "Quaak Muttar" package is a crude but functional pinball machine for which track indexes serve as scoreboard.
The label name revives a word that had fallen into disuse. Resipiscent means "a return to one's senses following a brutal experience." Its tagline
is "Unburying the meanest in criminally obscure sound."
