Founded by LeRoy Stevens, the Los Angeles-based Small World label is focused on sound works by artists: field recordings (a waterway, an aquarium, a textile factory), performance documentation, and the legacy of musique concrète, often playfully blurring the distinctions between those categories. Exquisitely designed objects, these records are also frequently hypnotic, sometimes jarring, and always intensely present. -Michael Ned Holte
