Trade School Sound Swap is the first in a recurring series of Record Swaps / Fairs curated by George Chen (Zum) in collaboration with Trade School. Join us to celebrate media and publishing efforts from our community. Our first Sound Swap installment features LPs and other wares from Anxiety Blanket, Chondritic Sound, Mausoleum, Small World, Zum, and a wave press, with more TBA! Come support local publishers, enjoy coffee / snacks, and mingle with fellow record lovers while basking in jams spun by Lorraine Petel (NTS resident DJ).
Additionally we will be joined by our friends from Bernie's Coffee / Community Solidarity Projects, who will be collecting donation items (list below), and identifying new volunteers, in support of their work around Eaton fire relief efforts.

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
