greyfade

greyfade is a music label and publisher presenting process-based works in both physical & high-resolution digital forms.

founded in 2019 by joseph branciforte, greyfade takes as its basic premise the idea of a music release as a complete conceptual universe, integrating sound, compositional architecture, visual design, and text into a single object worthy of sustained engagement.

the label’s roster includes artists working at the intersections of procedural composition, acoustic & electronic minimalism, alternative tuning systems, & digitally mediated forms of improvisation.

in 2024, greyfade introduced a new music release format called FOLIO (https://www.greyfade.com/folio)—a linen hardcover book with included digital music download that is equal parts album release, critical text, making-of narrative, study score, and collectible art object.
