photo is of an IST concert in Cambridge (Rhodri Davies/Simon Fell/Mark Wastell), and it was after the concert that I went up on stage and talked to Simon about doing a release, the first Erst-related thing I ever did.

25 years ago today, Erstwhile Records began.

I have never taken/posted photos of all of the Keith Rowe releases on Erst together, so here they are, in chronological order of release. what’s your fave Rowe row of choice? it’s hard.

full list of what’s in the works:

I'm very excited to announce this brand new project added to the upcoming Erst queue: Judith Hamann/Kate Carr (Erstwhile 107)
