Short bio
Experimenting for some years now with databending, QuarterBit is the alias of the Portuguese sound designer Fernando Fonseca, one the people behind the netlabel “PublicSpaces Lab”. QuarterBit is the project that stimulates the curiosity of this sound designer for coding and a critical view of the amount of data that is produced every day in so many formats.

QuarterBit has been a dormant project for the last months – apart from the collaboration with Kieron James on the HalfBIT project – but a new EP will see the light of day in the first semester of 2011.

Available music in the web is a marvelous world to uncover, and ever since I came across the concept of Netlabels I was immediately stunned by the amount of music to discover. But shortly after I was overwhelmed by the fast paced releases and hard to find pearls (at least the ones that lasted more than 2 or 3 careful auditions). There are netlabels and record labels for all genres and you can find out there everything, but my intentions regarding the foundation of a label are based on two critical issues: listeners pleasure and tribute to the artist.

I want to release music that lasts one year, ten years, a lifetime, and that gives its listeners always a good reason to get back to it and also to promote as much as possible the artists that produce that music. I’m interested in the sensations that music transmits, its richness and its versatility.
