Tzadik is a US record label based in New York City, specializing in avant-garde and experimental music. Established in 1995 by composer and saxophonist John Zorn, Tzadik has become a prominent name in the industry. With Zorn as the executive producer of all Tzadik releases, the label operates as a not-for-profit cooperative.

With an extensive catalog numbering scheme, Tzadik offers a diverse range of musical experiences. From special editions to limited edition vinyls, their releases cater to various preferences. They also have dedicated series such as John Zorn's 50th Birthday Celebration Series and Radical Jewish Culture Series.

While CDs were initially manufactured at a Nimbus facility until 2000, later releases from 2000 onwards were produced by Failsafe Media. It's important to note that if a title was originally issued before 1999 but features Mould SID Code 41xx, it should be considered as a repress from 2000 or later.

eyvind kang has contributed string arrangements for a number of artists including laurie anderson, blonde redhead and laura veirs. the main vocal parts on 'athlantis' are sung by mike patton and jessika kenney (austerium / asva). the 7 previous cds that he's recorded - '7 nades and theater of mineral nades', 'sweetness of sickness', 'pieces of time', 'the story of iceland', 'live low to the earth in the iron age', 'virginal co-ordinates', are mostly about the thought of music, the idea that you get when you think of a sound which triggers a memory, for example, which makes you feel a certain way. inspired by renaissance era literature and philosophy, 'athlantis' was a chance for eyvind to interact with one of his favourites giordano bruno and his book cantus circaeus. he studied and set the text, combining obscure poems from bishop marbode of rennes, and some lines from the hungarian epic planctus destructionis, he did the ground work and created the musical space. all of the singers, choir and soloists, came in and inhabited it and made it their own. cd only on ipecac.
