Linear Obsessional is the work of Richard Sanderson, an improvising musician based in South London. There's an article in The Quietus about the label here,  there's a long interview with Richard, talking about Linear Obsessional Recordings here. or a long audio interview with him on this podcast.

Nearly everything released on Linear Obsessional is completely free to download. The files are hosted at Bandcamp and Archive. At Bandcamp you are asked to "name your price" - you are welcome to enter "0", or more if you feel generous. Those on Archive are completely free.

Submissions

The majority of artists on Linear Obsessional are invited  to contribute to the label.  

We do accept submissions, as long as they fit certain criteria. 

We're generally looking for music which fits within our own tastes-  We're interested in acoustic music, free improvisation, field recordings, modern composition, noise, drone, music with lots of space, music of extraordinary density, experimental song form  and traditional (folk) music.
We're really not interested in modern dance music, rock music, "new age" music, drum machines and sequencers,  or  anything self described as "dark" or "transgressive" .
Please note preference will always be given to invited and commissioned artists. 

If you have music you'd like to be considered for release on Linear Obsessional you can contact us via the contact form below 

Please be aware that I have a backlog of things to release, so it may take months to get released, if at all.
