The Atelier

Where AtmosphereBecomes Music

Every record begins as a feeling.

Before there is music…

There is atmosphere.

This is the creative workshop of Vine Noir Records.

IIIThe Field Note

Every record begins with a Field Note.A thought. A place. A feeling.

A memory.

A conversation.

These notes eventually become music.

Music is only one part of the experience.Everything contributes to the atmosphere.
