UNSEEN RAIN’s community of players, composers, producers, engineers, the folks at Qua’s Eye Graphix, Beanstudio and mEyefi’s tech and HD sound guru are committed to the music and the art of sound.

Innovators like percussionist/drummer Tom Cabrera brings powerful transcultural elements, widening UNSEEN RAIN’s sonic landscapes. UR’s steadily growing catalog includes records by important artists including Julie Lyon, Harmolodic Monk, Sumari, Pat Hall, Dom Minasi, Chris Kelsey, Lewis Porter, Matt Lavelle, SDmitry Ishenko, Bob Rodriquez, Blaise Siwula, Michael Evans, Jack DeSalvo, Arthur Lipner, Jon Berger, Joris Teepe, Joel Shapira, Greg “Organ Monk” Lewis, Marvin Sewell, Anders Nilsson, Ken Filiano as well as ensembles Harmolodic Monk, Sumari, Happy House, Fulminate Trio and others.

UR’s productions are done in a few select studios, mixed and mastered by engineer Jim DeSalvo at Beanstudio.

Unseen Rain’s specially priced Bootleg Series features complete, unedited, authorized live sets featuring Unseen Rain artists recorded by Gene Gaudette.

Honoring the impact that the LP album cover had in its heyday, Qua’s Eye Graphix creates artwork panels, with titles, credits and tracklistings that are included with the music downloads and featured on CD packages and LP covers.

UR’s sister label is foUR Records – friends of UNSEEN RAIN. foUR exists to create a forum for important recordings that were produced independently of the UR staff. Artists on foUR include visionary guitarist/composer Dom Minasi, Chicago-based drummer Jimmy Bennington and Twin Cities guitarist Joel Shapira.
