Company profile

TWIN PARADOX Records is a new independent label project that aims to search and produce experimental electronic music of quality.The original impulses that gave birth to the label are the quest for music full of mental atmospheres and sensations, and the desire to give space to new ideas and interesting collaborations. The label’s name suggests a reflection on the concept of time dilation. In physics, the twin paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity involving identical twins, one of whom makes a journey into space in a high-speed rocket and returns home to find that the twin who remained on Earth has aged more. TWIN PARADOX Records is a project dedicated to research and experimentation of new forms of artistic expression and communication.
