Remove ads
Table of the Elements is an avant-garde record label created by Jeff Hunt[1] and co-owned by Hunt and producer/writer Paul Williams.[2]
Begun in 1993, the label’s 150-plus releases form a significant contemporary chronicle of American experimental music. Table of the Elements numbers its releases to correspond to symbols from the periodic table in increasing order of atomic weight, rather than using the traditional numerical system.
Table of the Elements concentrates on releases and re-releases of art music, experimental music and minimal music, including many avant-garde musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as John Cale, Tony Conrad,[3] La Monte Young,[4] Loren Mazzacane Connors, Derek Bailey, Rhys Chatham, Fushitsusha/Keiji Haino, Jim O'Rourke, Angus MacLise, Mats Gustafsson and Thurston Moore.
The label’s archive, housed at Within Things, contains over 15,000 CDs and LP records.[5] The Table of the Elements Archive publishes the estate of Tony Conrad. Table of the Elements has also hosted multiple-day music festival. It re-launched in 2025 with a catalogue of new and re-releases.[6][7]
