Table of the Elements

Table of the Elements is an American avant-garde record label created and owned by Jeff Hunt. Begun in 1993, the label’s 150-plus releases form a significant contemporary chronicle of American experimental music.

The label’s archive, housed at Within Things, contains over 15,000 CDs and LPs. The Table of the Elements Archive publishes the estate of Tony Conrad.

Table of the Elements numbers its releases to correspond to symbols from the periodic table in increasing order of atomic weight, rather than using the traditional numerical system. It concentrates on re-released and specially recorded experimental music and minimal music, including many avant-garde musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as John Cale, Tony Conrad, La Monte Young, Loren Mazzacane Connors, Derek Bailey, Rhys Chatham, Fushitsusha/Keiji Haino, Jim O'Rourke, Angus MacLise, Mats Gustafsson and Thurston Moore.

Table of the Elements has also hosted multiple-day music festivals.
