MANIFESTO / 00

WE BELIEVE THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN BETWEEN THE PLAN AND THE ACCIDENT.

Curated Collisions is an independent label and creative home for recordings, sessions and editions born from real encounters.

We select with intention, make room for friction and release the trace with care. The result does not need to be perfect. It needs to be alive.

CURRENT STATE / PROJECTS & ROOMS

RECORDED WORK.
MORE TAKING SHAPE.

PROJECT—SOFARECORDED / IN EDIT
01

Sofa Sessions

Where Anthems Used to Play

The label’s first recorded body of work: close, unguarded performances with nothing between the song and the listener. The material is currently being shaped for release.

↳ SOUTHERN SWEDEN↗
PROJECT—RUMMETWORKING RECORDINGS
02

Rummet efteråt

Svenska sånger · under arbete

A growing collection of Swedish songs by Mats Karpestam. Close to the words and the voice, presented as working recordings rather than a finished release.

↳ SONGS IN PROGRESS↗
IDEA—ODDIDEA STAGE
03

Odd Batch Society

No fixed lineup. No fixed outcome.

A developing idea for unexpected collaborations, concentrated creation and music allowed to emerge in the room. The format is under construction; nothing has been recorded or released yet.

ROOM—SOUTHCREATIVE BASE
04

South Sound Studios

The first creative base

A recording room and production environment in Skåne — not a release project. A place where future Curated Collisions work can begin.

INDEPENDENT BY DESIGN

ONE LABEL.
DIFFERENT STAGES.
A SHARED INSTINCT.

Curated Collisions holds recorded work, developing ideas and the rooms where they can begin — without pretending they are further along than they are. Each project keeps its own identity and grows at its own pace.

OPEN CALL / STAY CLOSE

BRING A SOUND.
LEAVE WITH
SOMETHING ELSE.

For artists, musicians, listeners and people with an idea that needs the right room.
