Medium Productions

Medium Productions was a record label created in 1993 primarily to publish the music of Steve Jansen, Richard Barbieri, and Mick Karn, ex-members of the band Japan and Rain Tree Crow. Medium was a means to release their own music with other collaborating artists, without 'big record label' compromise. Fifteen CDs of innovative and largely instrumental music were produced over a ten year period. Medium Productions folded in 2004 as the founders decided it was time for a change of direction and became more involved in other projects (such as Porcupine Tree, Nine Horses). The entire MP catalog has been re-released on the Voiceprint Music label beginning in 2001.

Prior to forming the Medium Productions label, Jansen & Barbieri released music as The Dolphin Brothers ("Catch the Fall", 1987, EMI/Virgin), and simply as Jansen & Barbieri ("Stories Across Borders", 1991, Virgin). The former includes vocals by Jansen and has a laid-back 80s electro-pop sound. The latter is an instrumental album very similar to music found on the Medium releases, particularly "Stone to Flesh"; three tracks from "Stories Across Borders" are performed live on MPCD13. Also falling in this time period was the Rain Tree Crow release with David Sylvian in 1991.
