Founded by Eric in San Francisco in 1998, it grew<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tfrom his earlier work with Metal Palace and his background in<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tcomposition, electronic music, recording, and audio production.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was conceived as a place where musical categories could overlap<br \/>\n\t\t\t\trather than compete: rock and metal alongside orchestral composition;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\trockabilly and blues beside electronic experimentation; recorded<br \/>\n\t\t\t\treleases alongside writing about sound, ritual, philosophy,<br \/>\n\t\t\t\ttechnology, and human perception.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe name deliberately echoes the Bauhaus\u2014the idea that art, craft,<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tand technology become stronger when treated as parts of the same<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tdiscipline. That remains the principle behind the Saundhaus motto:<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<em>The Art and Science of Music.<\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow based in Northampton, Massachusetts, Saundhaus serves as a record<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tlabel, creative studio, archive, and publishing home for an evolving<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tbody of work that refuses to remain inside a single genre.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Different genres.
