This is Affine Records
Published: 22 June 2008
Yes, it is true! Welcome to the birth of Affine Records! Welcome to the brandnew website! Just to let you know where you are and what it is, here is some basic information as a little introduction: Affine Records is located in Europe, Austria, Vienna, V.I.E (just in case, for the airport shortcuts experts) and is the home of the Artists Dorian Concept, Jacob´s Salty & Bamboozling Ladder (simple version: JSBL) and The Clonious.
We would appreciate it if you check the artist profiles, the dates section and of course the muuusic around this charming virtual hangout. What about Affine Records Releases? Well, AFF001 is on the way. More information in the next bulletin. Promised!
The affine thing
Affinity, in etymology affinity is the opposite of infinity . These two words have the same root coming from the Latin: finis = end. “Affinity” meaning is near to the “finis” e.g. close to the “zero point” in a before assumed space. On the other hand, from the Latin, affinis = connected with, having things in common, and it is utilised to interpret the effective possibility that some substances can or cannot mix together, in terms of sympathies and antipathies.
It´s a math thing. It´s a philosophy thing. It´s an anthropology thing. It´s a chemistry thing. It´s a textile thing. It´s a linguistics thing. It´s a biometrics thing. It´s a muuusic thing. It´s an affine thing!
Behind the scenes
Affine Records was founded in 2008 by a guy who sold english Premier League side Southhampton FC a few years ago after only 15 minutes to his old friend Joe Dassin. This young fellow also gained big fame with his Vitas Gerulaitis foundation to establish honeysuckers in the industrialized world. If you think this is strange stuff, please notice that the label owner with the “Carlos Valderrama attitude” is also responsible for founding the state Moldova (by the way: big thanks to Paradorn Srichaphan, Bananarama and the Ratiwatana Brothers) and of course for his unforgotten contemporary peacock paintings.
