Pecking at Borders with Corvo Records
Corvo Records‘ mission is best expressed by the label’s animated logo: a black vinyl disc blinking beside a record player’s arm. As Corvo’s owner Wendelin Büchler explains, the icon shares the profile of a black-faced bird (in Italian, corvo means crow):

kutin | kindlinger ~ Decomposition IV: Variations on bulletproof glass
Three years have passed since Decomposition I-III, which in Hollywood is considered an appropriate span of time for a sequel. Music sequels are different in that the stars may stay the same, but the settings and plots may morph beyond recognition.
