Layered Reality Productions is a non-profit music label that focuses on Progressive, Symphonic and Avant-Garde Metal. The main goal for LRP is to provide artists and bands with services which enable them to fully unleash their musical potential without any limitations or creative obstructions. LRP prides itself in its musical diversity, harboring intense bands such as Dimaeon & Sense Vs Sanity, but also Avant-garde acts such as Adeia & Insolitvs. But there is also room for melodic acts such as Mind:Soul & TDW and even the symphonic stylings of Nyx Aether and Unforeseen Motion have a place in the broad LRP spectrum.
LRP was founded by Tom de Wit (Musician, songwriter and singer of TDW & Mind:Soul) in the autumn of 2010. He started the label for his own musical endeavors so that he could release his own music without anyone interfering in the business side of things. As soon as this idea took a workable shape, more bands gained interest because of the direct approach and DIY ethic that LRP radiated.
The LRP family is a “do-it-yourself-collective” which is connected to the label’s services. Bands/artists work together to help each other forward in the musical landscape of today. The non-profit approach is different from traditional labels and production companies. This is based on the idea that the bands/artists who are a part of LRP make use of the offered services while retaining full creative and financial control. The bands/artists only pay a small amount of money to keep the label running smoothly and having control over (almost all of) the profits themselves. This way the label can remain stable and also offer new chances for current and new participants alike!
