Various Artists- Treetrunk 400 [treetrunk 400]

For Treetrunk’s 400th and final netrelease, Thomas Park offers a documentary, detailing the history of the netlabel. There are also 5 original prints, based on a Treetrunk Records logo, and some other supplemental materials. Thomas would like to sincerely thank all who have shared their music on Treetrunk, and the many hundreds of thousands who listened, as well– not to mention the fine people at archive.org, for all of their hosting efforts over the years. The plan is to keep the website up and active, and it is Thomas’ hope that listeners will continue to enjoy the many recordings in this classic netlabel.

Tree Helicopter And Thomas Park- Nitre [treetrunk 399]

Christopher McDill and Thomas Park have collaborated together frequently– especially on the netlabel Webbed Hand Records. Years after their last release, Chris has shared some dark ambient sounds with Thomas, who then used them and additional tape noise and engine sound outtakes to craft, “Nitre”.

The Future Of Treetrunk Records

Thanks to many generous contributors, creatively and financially, Treetrunk Records will be able to have its own domain and ad-free website until at least the end of next year, perhaps further. To me, this is significant.

In terms of submissions, the netlabel plans to close, after its 400th release, for an indefinite period. It is Thomas’ contention that the substantial discography of the netlabel should itself be explored, or revisited (if it already has been explored).

That being said, Thomas plans to maintain Treetrunk’s website and general web presence, helping to ensure its legacy.

He also will be offering some nice features for the 400th release, including a high-definition downloadable version of the Treetrunk Records documentary and 5 original prints based on a logo design.
