Twenty Hertz :
• TWENTY HERTZ is a platform to release music both by myself (Paul Bradley) and by other artists and musicians whose work I admire and enjoy. So far these have included (among others) Colin Potter, Andrew Liles, Monos, Keith Berry, Ubeboet, Maile Colbert and David Wells.
• All Twenty Hertz releases have been on either CD or CDr as I feel that these two formats currently offer the most appropriate form of reproduction. That is not to discount other options however and future releases may find themselves appearing on vinyl or on DVD.
• 2007 saw the launch of Twenty Hertz Digital, making available MP3 and FLAC files for download. Offering reissues, exclusive material and an alternative distribution of releases.
• There is a close relationship between Colin Potter's ICR label and Twenty Hertz. We have shared a number of releases and cross pollinate frequently in a number of areas. For this reason we are sometimes mistaken for being one and the same. However this is not the case and we are two separate living and breathing entities, it is just that we often like to collaborate and help each other out.

Demo Policy :
Many apologies but Twenty Hertz is not currently accepting unsolicited demos.
Please bear in mind the following points and guidelines:
• The only accepted medium is CD(r) or links to audio files you may have hosted somewhere on the internet. Please DO NOT send any audio files as attachments in emails they will be deleted and ignored. There is no ability to play cassette tapes or DAT tapes.
• Please be familiar with what Twenty Hertz is about. Check out the artists on this site and on the 'contact & links' page. Listen to the audio clips available.
• This is a small label with limited funds and releases come mainly from previous contacts or invitations made to specific artists. To be brutally honest Twenty Hertz isn't really looking for new artists and no matter how great your submission is, the likelihood that we will be in a position to release it is slim. However, you never know and sending a demo lets us know you are out there.
• If we like your submission you will be contacted. If you are not contacted then it is likely that your recording was found to be inappropriate for release through Twenty Hertz.
• We are unable to return submissions.

Artists :
Keith Berry :
I like to think what I do is akin to a small seed that, given the right conditions, can grow into something far bigger than the work itself, a "trigger" which though does not contain enough information in itself to impart enlightenment, may possibly be sufficient to unlock the mechanisms inside one's mind that leads to enlightenment", it is something that can only exist in the most important of places – the mind of the listener. twoinchesofftheground.com
Paul Bradley :
As a musician Paul, who is originally from the UK and currently living in Valencia Spain, primarily uses textured drones that are abstracted from field recordings and instruments (most notably the guitar) and reinterpreted to create new contexts where disembodied sounds are twisted into new audioscapes creating rich and sonorous "organic abstractions".
Paul also runs Twenty Hertz and Edition Sonoro record labels issuing recordings from the likes of Ubeboet, Keith Berry, Monos, Andrew Liles, irr.app.(ext.) and Jgrzinich. He also co-organised a series of live events in the UK called Intergration which included performances from artists such as Keith Rowe, Steven Stapleton, Jonathan Coleclough, Joolie Wood, Matt Waldron and a very rare performance by Andrew Chalk.
Releases have been issued on a number of labels including ICR (UK), Alluvial Recordings (USA), Shining Day (PL), Small Voices (IT), Con-v (ES) and also on Twenty Hertz. Collaborations have been plentiful working with contemporaries such as Colin Potter (Nurse With Wound), Maile Colbert, Andrew Liles and also as a recent member of Monos. As well as being issued on CD these “sensual strung-out vibrations” have been shown and performed both solo and in collaboration in the UK, Spain, Portugal, Germany and the USA.
