Emptyset is a Bristol, UK based production project formed in 2005 by James Ginzburg and Paul Purgas. They have been creating groundbreaking music for over a decade, pushing the boundaries of sound and exploring new sonic territories.
Their unique blend of experimental electronic music has earned them a dedicated following around the world. Drawing inspiration from various genres such as techno, industrial, and noise, Emptyset creates immersive and intense sonic experiences that captivate listeners.
With their innovative approach to sound design and composition, Emptyset has carved out their own distinct sound. Their music is characterized by its raw energy, intricate textures, and hypnotic rhythms. They have released numerous critically acclaimed albums and EPs on labels like Thrill Jockey Records and Raster-Noton.

Thrill Jockey is an American independent record label that was established in 1992 by Bettina Richards, a former A&R representative at Atlantic Records. Originally based in New York City, the label relocated to Chicago, Illinois in 1995.
With over two decades of experience, Thrill Jockey has become a prominent force in the music industry. Known for its diverse roster of artists and commitment to artistic integrity, the label has consistently released groundbreaking and innovative music across various genres.
Thrill Jockey's catalog includes a wide range of critically acclaimed albums from both established and emerging artists. From experimental rock to electronic music, jazz to folk, the label continues to push boundaries and support unique voices within the industry.

Emptyset, the duo of James Ginzburg and Paul Purgas, are tireless innovators at the vanguard of electronic music. Over the course of the last decade the duo have consistently applied new and inventive compositional tools to create art that is both unique and poignant. Blossoms was developed using cutting edge machine-learning technology, with the duo feeding a neural network sounds from their previous releases, as well as 10 hours of improvised recordings of raw materials, and processing that data into entirely new sounds. The result is music unlike any heard before, a true distortion between electronic and organic sounds manifesting as emergent non-human musicality.

Blossoms is a work built on hybrids and mutations, combining complexly synthesized audio with reverbs derived from impulses taken in architectural sites Emptyset have worked in previously. The assembled compositions are emblematic of Emptyset’s dedication to forward-looking sound and examine patterns of emergence and augmentation, fragmentation and resilience, and the convolution of biotic and abiotic agency
