Songlines Recordings

Established in Vancouver 1992, Songlines Recordings produces Modern and Avant Jazz that typically crosses musical borders with Contemporary Classical, Rock, Non-Western Folk and Classical and Ambient Music and Contemporary World Music, usually with an Asian focus (Arabic and Persian music, Javanese gamelan). The albums feature artists based in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. The term “Songlines” refers to Australian aboriginal performances of song and dance in which tales of the ancestral creator beings are enacted in the very places where those events unfold in the now-and-always Dreamtime. This idea of a deep-roots musical storytelling journey crisscrossing one’s home turf seemed to offer a kind of metaphor for music in our globalizing world that forges imaginative new paths through different cultures and traditions without sacrificing the depth of those traditions themselves.
