Minimal Damage Recordings is an independent label for adventurous music that doesn’t fit regular categories.
My vision is to give space to new talent, creative makers who add value to then world, as well as releasing albums by adventurous ‘established’ musicians and inter-inspiring collaborations between the two. An example of such a project is Het Oog in de Naald – The Eye in the Needle -, featuring Roosmarijn Tuenter, Rogier Hornman and Francisca Snip.
Soon guitar player and composer Prashant Samlal releases ATMA, a short, epic album. In the spring we will present Songs from the Secret House, based on prepared piano (in cooperation with Mees Siderius, Koen Boeiinga, Rogier Hornman, Mieke van Dam, and Steven Kamperman) and Interlocking, with pianist Laurens de Boer. In autumn Jonathan Ho’s album Who Cares If I Mind will be released. Keep an eye out and enjoy our art!

Please consider this: the best way to support musicians is by going to concerts and buying their music (CD’s, Vinyl or Digital releases). Use streaming platforms to enjoy the abundance of creativity that is out there, to inform yourself, to be surprised, but realise that producing music is dedicated, professional and expensive work. Artists will be deeply grateful for your support, even more so in these challenging times. Thank you!
