Viande Records is an italian label founded by A Spirale (M.Argenziano, M.Gabola, M.Spezzaferro) during 2008 in Naples. 
It's focalized on improvising and experimental music.


The production of this material is not driven only by a desire for expressions of aesthetics and relations, is located in a constellation of practices linked to other realities such as Toxo Records, Joy De Vivre, SuoniGrezzi, Arraggia, Perditempo, L'Altrolibro, Altera!, TPA, etc. Radiolina, with the attempt to circulate material that often fails to overcome the wall of the large-scale distribution and aesthetic of power.
Does not exceed the limit of the goods but at least this way begin to reduce it to the use value (it would be desirable, paradoxically, an incalculable exchange value and zero use value) the "cultural product", almost to the value of support through the exchange and the creation of a small distribution punctuated in a field of close relationships but at the same time very careful and in continuous relation with the outside;
also by establishing relationships by sharing spaces and the same means of production tries to make less and less work, professional and specialized experimentation with the "contemporary" and its languages ​​even in contexts in which the economic potentials remain very low.

We’re talking about escape, friction, and collision, “feelings conquered because they’re sons of no one” and not things bought, moved by the possibility of liberation from the spectacular mercantile economy that as of now organize even the small niches/bitches that are the products of underground cultural consumption for the bourgeois bohemian mish mash middle European youth.
We have shared techniques, ideas, discussions, spaces for concerts, houses, full tables and empty tables, bottles, bars, shitty pubs, streets, books, listening and writing…
And above the author aesthetic as a revelation of a practice that passes through improvisation to break the walls, the separation of languages, the genre, the consumption of music as a product tied only to the enjoyment of a form or a narration or a composition, all around a world that moves as a result of everyday battles and movements of liberation.
A discussion around the practice and the means/tools, years of forgotten history of radical improvisation only to restart this mood in new fragile fields, where grindcore/hardcore/punk, hip hop, technorave, funky, rock ‘n ‘roll, blues, fall apart and give space to the lived and human movements more than to the genres and authors.
Again against the new post–museum logic, to the artist collectives and their re-qualification of abandoned areas, against every form of mediation between the individual experience and the outside world.…"
