A Begining

This is the Blog that will run in support of, and in conjunction to, my new endeavor Felo De Se. Felo De Se is for all intents and purposes the natural extension of my years spent as a lover and collector of audio and literary material, and as a maker of things. It is a record label and intermittently a press in support of the people and the projects that I can not help but love. It is inspired by all the people, artists, record labels and presses who have selflessly put the things into the world that have made life a rich and wonderful thing to live. The ethos of the label and press is a simple one. It is an archive of material that I do not want to forget and do not want to be forgotten by others. It is a means to share such material with a few more people. It is a line in the sand and a decision, in a world filled with disposable media, to produce something in small numbers, with limited distribution and without a profit motivation, that is beautiful, that has a right to exist, runs the risk of being lost, or might not have seen the light of day with prompting. It simply put is the desire to produce something that one might be compelled, with all their precious objects burning, to save from a fire. Please check back in soon for all the updates.
