Séance Centre

Séance Centre is a Canadian record label dedicated to finding and releasing “captivating sounds lost in the folds of time,” pairing its music with a strong emphasis on sound quality, design, and narrative framing. The label presents itself as attentive to the contexts that shape recordings, treating releases as documents connected to the musicians, cultures, and places behind them.

Alongside the music, Séance Centre builds a wider editorial layer around its releases. It contextualizes projects with interviews, essays, photographs, and documentary storytelling, aiming to explore the elements that come together in the creation of music and the circumstances in which it is made. This approach positions the label as both a publisher of recordings and a curator of accompanying materials that deepen the listener’s understanding of the work.

Visual presentation is a defined part of the label’s identity. Séance Centre’s artwork is designed by Paris-based artist Alan Briand, aligning the label’s stated focus on design with a consistent creative direction across its releases.

Artists associated with Séance Centre include Ben Gunning and Joseph Shabason, reflecting the label’s interest in distinctive, carefully presented recordings. More information about the label and its projects is available through its website at https://www.seance-centre.com/.
