With over 100 physical releases since its inception by Taylor Deupree in 1997, New York-based music label 12k has decisively defined and developed the concept of minimalism in the realms of electronic music for more than a decade. Fusing elements from Ambient and Electro-Acoustic Composition with carefully arranged digital textures and associative micro-noises, the label's aesthetics revolve around a precisely-outlined, yet deeply emotional concoction of the technological and the organic. Eschewing the typical marketing mechanisms of the commercial music industry, Deupree has sculpted a platform whose influence today extends well beyond the confinements of the experimental community. 12k's integral approach, in which the label's instantly recognizable, elegantly spartan artwork enters into an inseparable symbiosis with the music, has created a timeless audiovisual language respected and appreciated all over the world.

Thank You 4 Your Interest - All what U see and Hear is inspired by Nature and by You, for your interest I thank you.  
As we all are one big organic lump living life that deeply connected with all are dependent on each other and the environment around us. We navigate by mirroring people we meet and watching to learn from the natures sustainable behavior and habits. We are Bi-products of each other our Nature and our Habitat, in this life of constant change we try to find the best way to deal with the consecvenses of not always knowing what is the right path, so we creates, experiments, acts and lives as contemporary symptoms,  sending out signs and signals to our surroundings in our culture for it to recognize and use it as a navigator to understand ourself, people, animals, nature, life in general the now and the codex of the times we live in.
It is in this open window, where we are mirroring  living and observing contemporary symptoms of times, we can create, interpret, communicate, our unique set of experiences, visualize our thoughts and doubts & use it as a frame for confirmation of your own state of mind, a recognizing tool for mental health as a grounding - a start, the moment, yours own perfect Now - Whatever you find useful on your path in life to wisdom, freedom and trust, you will find your own tools on your way or you will make them yourself, it will and cannot be given to you, it's for you to discover, you can and will not learn it from someone, the source is for you to find, cause nobody can not teach or learn away we can only inspire, be the creative, communicators, toolmakers, reflectors, living mirrors, the artist.  Mirroring of the contemporary signals, signs and symptoms of man in our own homemade manmade culture of the times - so that we together can recognize, visualize and inspire a direction in the evolution that is sustaining life and diversity on this earth and to make decisions on behalf of our common source, knowledge and all life as we know it. Either we are aware of it or not, we are all ambassadors for the nature and part of all life, our instinct want us to find our self, recognize our personality in its identity, adapt its abilities,  language, tools, signs and signals express it trough any given medium at any time, always - thats nature at work, thats the artists at work for the nature, the natures ambassador translating the universal language of man, the natures nature - repeating over and over again what we all know, what we are a part of, what we live inn, off and for, what we all know that we always knew in different ways as new and different days appears and time evolves into life as we know it, and we cease this gorgeous moment and love it, finds the only window out that show it, reveals the source, so use no force, don't scream, whisper, just breath your thoughts and release your will, chill your spill pill , reject your greed, please your thirst, smoothen you bursts let patience come first and find your chi and you will see you're just perfectly how and where you are meant to be, recognizing that everything is perfectly as it's suppose to be, cause it could not be differently, in this gift called life where we are free to be who we are really, free to do whatever we want to if we only know it is truly.

 ORGANIC - according to wikipedia;
" relating to an organism, a living entity."

 AMBIENT - according to wikipedia; "ambient music is a musical genre that focuses largely on the timbral characteristics of sounds, often organized or performed to evoke an "atmospheric",[2] "visual"[3] or "unobtrusive" quality."- 

 MUSIC -  gives us the possibility to experience how music, sound-storys, organic field recordings, atmospherics, noise aso. is reflecting and expressing the state of mind of the people and culture of the habitat in our own time. Every region of the earth has it's own musical expression, identity and language, (ever changing of course), some are very active, upfront and visual, others grounded in old ritual tradition, others purely celebrating mother nature and life. The nordic AMBIENT music expression today is up front, modern, active, well known and appreciated widely around the world, for it's emotional seriousity, elemental character and fascinating, recognizable almost visual atmosphere of the natures direct impact on the soundscape, atmosphere and story told or translated.

 NATURE -  has no borders, nor has the music, neither do we. As we get into the ambient, sound-scaping, storytelling, exploring spirit and ancient ground, we get wise on our own habitat, nature, our people and ourself, trough the fine tools of art, sound & music. Sharing these reflections in musical works, experience & wisdom with our brothers & sisters, is what art is all about. The artist will always seek and explore all sides of life & nature, then translate and express it trough the tools of art, so that others who don't have the time, means or the gift to explore it, is given access to this source of knowledge, trough the artists work with the umbrella of all arts, the music. The only, yet, universal language humans have.

 INSIDE you in your home on this earth, in our world of solar systems and galaxys, lives the universe to be, your guide, partner and chi in your effort to see and to be a part of something bigger than yourself. So that together we all will, inspired by each-other, enjoy in common spirit the greatest gift of all......LIFE, as it happens, right now, here, everywhere and always!
