arborescence records is a german based non-profit netlabel, founded by artists Markus Reineke and Frank Wilke in early summer 2014.
We are dedicated to free improvised electronic and electroacoustic music in the field of "improvisation", "free jazz" and "new music". Concerning electroacoustic improvisation there has always been a keen interest in both of us to combine woodwind, brass and strings with electronically generated sound.
All music is free for listening and download.

Born In Nature (Graftings): Strassbourg Configuration - Boulevard Michel
In the early 1960s british drummer Tony Oxley once was in need to find a name fitting well for his acitvities together with Derek Bailey and Gavin Bryars. He went to his bookcase, spiritedly took out a volume by british composer Joseph Holbrooke - and that was it! The Joseph Holbrooke Trio was founded [1].
We found a similar situation here, in need for proper track names for the six free improvisations which make up this album. We opened our bookcases and extracted a volume by german dadaist Hans Arp [2], combined with several mystery sources, and that worked for us!
