Mute

Please note, some Mute issues also carry an EMI logo. This is not a label and EMI should not be added as a label, it instead indicates that Mute was part of the EMI Group.

Founded in 1978 by [a=Daniel Miller], Mute (also known as [l36339]) releases various forms of music, with an emphasis on electronic and experimental pop. In May 2002 the label was acquired by the [l=EMI Group]. In 2010 Miller did an agreement with EMI to handle Mute as an independent label again, licensing the trademark from EMI via his company [l=Mute Artists Ltd.], but EMI kept the rights over Mute's back catalogue. After the EMI Group was dissolved, in 2012 [l206061] acquired [l636]'s back catalogue.

Branch offices exist in Germany ([l168349]) and in North America ([l36296]). 

Mute has spawned many regional and special-interest sublabels, some of which are still active. One offshoot, [l=Parallel Series], even became independent of [l636] Mute also operates Mute Bank Mail Order, which sells the label's merchandise directly to consumers. Mute Bank published two issues of [i]Mute Statement[/i], a softcover book that details the entire discography of the label and includes band profiles and photos of release artwork.

Another label strongly associated with Mute is [l=Toast Hawaii], run by [a=Depeche Mode]'s [a=Andrew Fletcher].

Multi-disciplinary artist, composer and vocalist K Á R Y Y N her debut album THE QUANTA SERIES. Written and recorded over a seven year period, THE QUANTA SERIES tracks K Á R Y Y N's movements across continents on a voyage of self-examination. Beginning in 2011 following the death of two relatives in Aleppo, K Á R Y Y N left her native LA for Cherry Valley, upstate New York to process her grief in seclusion. During the 18 months she lived in Cherry Valley, K Á R Y Y N wrote two songs for THE QUANTA SERIES. The first was a visceral, emotional piece recorded in one take called Today I Read Your Life Story 11:11. The second, a musing on impermanence and understanding the impact of our choices called SEGMENT &amp; THE LINE. Over the years that followed, K Á R Y Y N spent time living in Berlin where she wrote PURGATORY, a song inspired by a memory from her childhood spent in the Forty Mountains of Idlib province in Syria. As she travelled, she found inspiration everywhere, leaning into her own familial legacy, feelings of grief and love and observations on human interaction. A deep connection to her lineage is a concurrent theme in K Á R Y Y N's work, with an interpretation of traditional Armenian folk song AMBETS GORAV present on the album plus a beautiful choral patchwork called MIRROR ME providing an introspective break in the album - a track about “facing yourself, the good, the bad; searching for the parts in us that have been lost.” After a steady drip feed of songs released to widespread acclaim, including ALEPPO and BINARY, the first two singles released under her artist moniker in 2017.
