If you'd like to send us something that's great. We and the post office salute
your work. Cdr is the best format for us. Though if you've worked out how to
record your music into an edible form that would save us a lot of time too. We
have released music that arrived unannounced, so if you think your creation fits
in with the limited appeal of sijis then send it in, you never know.
Because of the time, money and elaborate alchemical rituals it takes to release
music on sijis, we'll only contact you if we want to hear more. So don't get
sad if you hear nothing from us, we always listen to everything we are sent,
eventually...
The Sijis Manifesto
Sijis records has been set up to promote and enhance the international experiment
music scene. Our aim is simple - to bypass any [sub]standard methods of industrial
music making and distribute music by trade, internet and word of mouth. The
usual techniques of PR, hype and advertisting might make it easy to buy hamburgers
anywhere in the world, but sure as hell make it difficult to hear interesting
music.

This is the manifesto of the sijis group:
we release great music in the broad genre of "music with a limited appeal" [i.e.
stuff we like but is not being released anywhere else] there is no common thread
apart from that. Indeed the four founders generally waste no time in pointing
out the huge errors of judgement in each others record collections. Usually
if any need for labelling sijis' style comes up we'll make up clever sounding
genres, but bear in mind most of what you read on this site is to help you
concentrate on the music, to show how insignificant manifesto, liner notes,
biogs and mothballed mysterious recluses are.
If i show you a painting, you might like it, you might not. but if i say to
you, now i'm going to show you the last painting the artist made before he
killed himself, your views are skewed, you think the suicidal artist demands
more attention. but culture has tricked you, it's the same painting as before.
Sijis does not need limited edition, hand silkscreened covers made from endangered
butterfly wings. Sijis does not need pages of boring technical background explaining
exactly how the music came about. we're doing you a favour by making all this
up, then you can really listen and make up your own mind.
