Welcome to the Metaphon website.
Metaphon is a small independent label based in Belgium, dedicated to publishing electronic and instrumental avant-garde music from the 20th century. Its primary motivation is a deep passion for “new” music: uncovering and releasing archival works by often lesser-known composers, as well as making hard to find or long-forgotten personal favorites available again. Metaphon also collaborates closely with composer and percussionist Michael Ranta on the publication of his archive recordings.

Founded in 2007, Metaphon was also active as a concert promoter until 2012. During that time, it organized performances by artists such as AMM, Limpe Fuchs, Michael Ranta, Remko Scha, Hans Reichel, David Behrman, Catalogue, and many more. These activities are documented in the Events archive
Since 2012, Metaphon has operated solely as a record label. Its publications are available through La Scie Dorée, the website and shop of musician and visual artist Timo van Luijk, who was also the original inspirer behind Metaphon.
