Due to a flaw in the original way we formatted the SoundCloud, we have decided that each artist will get their own set to post music in. The sets now look like this:
L’amante
Paragram
Total Hack
We can thank our 3 newest songs for the change. Fractal Luminescence, Masque, and Adamant Passage. Check them out in the players above or at the links provided.
More songs in not too long. Also, we are still looking for artists to work with.
Much Love,
L’amante

About Endangered Sound Productions
Endangered Sound Productions (ESP) is the branch of Endangered Media Productions (EMP) that is focused on the Musical, Audio, Frequency and Ampilitudinal oriented concerns of EMP, the project they are currently trying to develop into a production company that runs the gamut of mediums and genres; from music to movies, cartoons to sculpture, performance art to event organizing, etc. In simpler terms, we write music, we make sounds, and we work on audio based projects with hopes to work in all the auxiliary fields around audio. ESP/EMP was created by two kids who had known each other most of their lives: Ben Nehlich [L’amante] and John Paul Zigterman [Total Hack] first met in third grade at Douglas Elementary School, and became best friends throughout high school and after. Once Ben received his education in Audio Production, Engineering, & Sound Design at the Institute of Production and Recording in Minneapolis, he moved to Pittsburgh where John had been living for a year. While this was happening, they were in the process of really defining what ESP was. They spent time writing songs such as “Model R66-Y (Prometheus)” and “Fresh Thoughts”, and working on ideas for how they could create a community of multi-disciplinary artists with similar goals. These ideas have become the focus of what it means to be a member of the EMP Team. They are focused on encouraging the development of an open-minded, experimental, and art oriented community, around us as well as globally.
Originally, “Endangered Sound Productions” was the entirety of the project’s focus and was to be based only in audio or musical mediums. The team’s natural tendency to “cross-class” and their completely untamed curiosity eventually led them to expand the concept to include many forms of art as well as organizational branches for shows and events. This umbrella, covering those many multi-faceted projects, is what has now become Endangered Media Productions.
Their attitude, with regard to the art world, is open-minded, open-ended, and irreverent while simultaneously obsessed with quality and truly passionate about progress and experimentation. They try as well to be self-critical and genuine as artists. They care deeply about the importance of originality and sophistication in art, valuing qualities like integrity and completeness of concept. They are also ardent believers that the magic of real, unique expression arises from uninhibited creativity. Another important tenet of their artistic ethics is that art is meant to be shared, else it is not truly functioning as art. The appreciation of both the piece and the medium by others is the most important step in the communication to which individualistic and expressive art gives way, and in the information age its distribution ought to cater to the audience instead of the artist or label.
Their most recent focus has been on their experimental electronic compositions and working with their new artist, Paragram. They have been adapting those songs to a format playable by their band (named Knode, which is comprised of Paragram and themselves) as well as writing episodes and storyboarding for an upcoming cartoon, titled “Diner Sore, Pun Intended”.
