Not Quite Archaic New York
NQA is micro-label arm of the First Church of Synthesis, a suburban home for wayward
synths.
NQA remains steadfastly concerned with obscure formats, antiquated technologies and capturing ecstatic moments in time and preserving them, however transitory the medium.
We’ll be opening our home to visiting artists and composer residencies in the coming year and hope to share more on that soon.

I can’t even pick one track I like more than the others. The work is one whole in my opinion and takes me anywhere I want to go. Thank god for the Doberman.

Summed-Up-Sounds In Process
by Gateway
supported by 7 fans who also own “Side B”
Side B is absolute madness. This is the forgotten witch’s kettle bubbling over the rim of the a sacred vessel. Resulting in a burnt potion that only yields cobra snakes that have been dosed with a lethal amount of acid. They spill out and hit the stained linoleum floor while the snake charmer panics and realizes that this is his new reality. Give yourself the gift of transcendence and scoop this holy tape.
