Dear listener

Welcome to the curious memories of Sone Institute, brought to you by Front & Follow, a new label based in Manchester releasing albums in bespoke packaging, and digital downloads.

Sone Institute is the weird and wonderful work of one man, Mr Roman Bezdyk, who sits alone for days (if not weeks) at a time surrounded by miniature pianos, crows and paperweights the results of which you can listen to here.

Sone Institute first stumbled into the public consciousness back in 2007 with a series of demos and self-released CD-Rs, one of which ended up in the in-tray at F&F towers. Despite the obligatory cash donation seemingly missing, we put it on anyway.

And we think it was the best thing we ever did.

That CD-R was the first step towards what is now Front & Follow, home to a collection of like-minded inventive folk: Ben and Michael (of Elite Barbarian), Tom and Chris (of Yonokiero), Andy (of Andy Nice), Mark, Drew, Staff and Dan (of The Doomed Bird Of Providence), our friends across the world from Long Division with Remainders, Damian (our designer) and of course Roman.

Our aim was to create something special and personal with Front & Follow, in our own small way, and we hoped that others would enjoy it.

And now you can buy Curious Memories by Sone Institute for glimpses of where it all began. The track featured here is brand new, and gives a flavour of what to expert from Sone Institute, and from Front & Follow. We hope you like it.

Love from all at Front & Follow
