Neuma Records (formerly Neuma Records & Publications) has been championing exploratory music since 1988, releasing dozens of albums by some of today’s more intrepid composers, performers, and musicmakers from many corners of the world. Shunning conformity while bringing new musical ideas to the fore, Neuma connects the dots between creators and listeners across the wide, uncharted musical landscape.
Relaunched in 2020 (with Philip Blackburn taking over from Shirish Korde and Jerry Tabor), the label continues to provide personalized guidance through the often-bewildering process of music publishing and getting your work in front of complete strangers.
An artist-friendly, curated label with a global reach, we peddle the unheard and foist sound-magic on unsuspecting listeners wherever they may be found. Got a project in the can? Send it along. Like what you hear? Keep listening and supporting those who toil at bringing it to you. Together we can make beautiful – if unconventional – music.
