©2022 Discreet Archive


Discreet Archive was created for music and artefacts that explore quietness and sonic materiality.

We create microphones and instuments designed for use in experimental music, sound art and field recordings.  

We release music that allows for space, presents sonority as object and is concerned with the materiality of sound, sound as thing.

We occupy a world of noise, discerning meaning in this sea of noise is increasingly difficult. 

We invite you to contemplate the world around you through stillness and quiet that sound can provide a focus for. 




  1. Listen to quiet things loudly
  2. Listen for the smallest element in the piece
  3. Listen for the largest element in the piece
  4. Listen for the interaction between object
  5. Listen for the space that the sound is presented in
  6. Listen to the objects that surround your listening
  7. Listen to the whole
  8. Listen to the individual
  9. Listen for the smallest change 
  10. Listen for the elements that do not change 
  11. Listen again
