Seriés Aphōnos, a subsidiary label of Bronze Rat Records, focuses on instrumental music, soundtracks, spoken word, and other curio curations. It is curated by Welsh musician, producer and label owner Andrew Zammit.

Releases include Soft Rains by Zarelli (a musical reinterpretation of a Leonard Nimoy-narrated Ray Bradbury short story from The Martian Chronicles), the first vinyl release of the Krzyzstof Komeda-composed soundtrack to Roman Polanski's “Dance of the Vampires/Fearless Vampire Killers”, and Berlin avant-punk kollektiv Candy Bomber.

Seriés Aphōnos' themed and recurrent artwork is inspired by the aesthetic of 70s music libraries (such as Montparnasse 2000, Studio G, and Neuilly), and is based on a template designed and continued by Buffalo, NY artist Julian Montague.

SA01 – Solex – Solex Ahoy! The Sound Map Of The Netherlands

Masterminded by Dutch musician Elisabeth Esselink (AKA Solex), The Sound Map of the Netherlands is a collection of recordings shot on location in the 12 provinces of the Netherlands. Esselink trekked the numerous rivers, lakes and waterways in the Netherlands in an old motor boat, inviting a different cast of musicians to climb aboard for an improvised jam. The resulting material was refined in the studio to produce a sound-image for each province.

SA02 – Gemma Ray – Down Baby Down

Dubbed a 'fantasy soundtrack' by musician, composer and guitarist Gemma Ray, Down Baby Down is a largely instrumental collection of compositions. Featuring Thomas Wydler (drummer for Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds), as well as double bass, organ, the music mixes jazz-noir with gothic folk and haunting choral sounds.
