Vectordisc is the result of the combined efforts of many musicians, with a geographic epicenter based in Chester County, Pennsylvania, just west of Philadelphia: Click here to see all our artists.
All of our recordings are remarkably different from one another stylistically. We embrace both improvisation and formal composition.
