We've entered the age of dematerialization, the age of digital streams and files, occupying a few bytes on our hard disks or a little bandwidth in the network pipes.

Books, like music, have taken this turn.

But against this dominant trend, there are pockets of resistance that are giving pride of place to the material object, thanks to the know-how of artists and craftsmen, be they book publishers or music labels.

Just as a beautiful printed edition, on fine paper, in a fine format, with beautiful typography and binding, offers incomparable added value compared to a text read on the screen of a reading device, so a musical work in the form of a CD in unconventional packaging offers a specific experience and pleasure for the music lover. The limited editions of CDs, LPs or cassettes offered by independent labels are above all beautiful objects, where the materiality of the paper and cardboard, the originality of the packaging and the sophistication of the design bring an additional aesthetic pleasure.

Hand-crafted limited editions, where the music and its material envelope are inseparable, these CDs or vinyls are precious, personalized collectors' items, artisanal and artistic, which stand out from the mass production of cultural content.

They offer an unprecedented global, visual, tactile and affective experience when listening to music.
