​Audio Geography

​Watch a live vinyl cutting at WEEK NIGHT! Audio Geography is a vinyl record production service that helps independent musicians and artists who want to make physical media by producing affordable small run orders and offering unique custom options. Traditional record pressing requires high minimum orders and longer wait times, while Audio Geography has no minimum order, and faster production times. The direct lathe cut method I use allows for economical and expedient production of small orders of records.

Smaller artists, record labels, hobbyists, and gift givers alike are happy to find Audio Geography to make their physical media dreams come true for limited run merch, one of a kind collectibles, or unique gifts for their record-loving sweethearts.

Their unique brand of audience interactive improvisation combines diverse and seemingly unconnected visual elements to create  spectacular “happenings” that manifest as stage shows, street parades and creature dance parties throughout the US and overseas.
