We were looking for a name both unique and memorable, which also, in some way, reflects the type of art we were intent on creating.

Discord Aggregate does mainly studio work at the moment. Live performances are infrequent. Please subscribe to our mailing list to be notified.

It increases dramatically the artist’s ability to find an audience and to communicate with that audience. In addition, Discord Aggregate has been using the Internet as an art form as and of itself, creating a wide range of conceptual web art projects which may be found at our web site: http://www.discord-aggregate.com.

Unlikely, unless we have ultimate control over the conditions of such a contract, which is something record labels don't like very much.

Discord Aggregate has been a full-functioning art group since 1996. Since its inception, the group has created 5 video films, 4 novels, 3 CDs and a host of innovative web art projects (visit Discord Aggregate web site if you have a month to spare).
