Aurora Weltklang

Owner: Intercommunal Signal Network

Aurora Weltklang was the primary release imprint of the Intercommunal Signal Network, active between 1970 and 1983. It functioned less as a label than as a stabilizing mechanism: a way to issue complete works—LPs, cassettes, and documented sessions—when conditions briefly allowed for coherence. Aurora Weltklang releases were typically album-scale, carefully assembled, and accompanied by technical notes, inserts, or contextual material, reflecting a belief that music required framing to survive circulation. While many ISN outputs remained fragmentary or broadcast-only, Aurora Weltklang marked the moments when a recording could hold together long enough to be pressed, duplicated, and sent outward as a finished object.
