The End of Pause Music
"As of June 4th, 2013, and with the release of our 100th offering,
Pause has officially decided to close its doors for good. In 2007, Eirik
(Phlogiston) and myself (Disasterpeace) started Pause to create a home
for ourselves and some of our favorite musicians to release music to the
public. In 6 years, the internet has changed quite drastically, and we
can safely say that our mission was a success, and that we're leaving at
a time when access to chipmusic, and tools for musicians in general,
have never been better. Many of those who were affiliated with Pause in
the past have continued to succeed with great projects of their own,
including the excellent netlabels Ubiktune (http://ubiktune.org/), Telefuture (http://telefuturenow.com/), and Pterodactyl Squad (http://ptesquad.com/), all of which are worth checking out.
Our collection will remain online for as long as humanly possible, so that those who never had the opportunity to explore our catalogue may do so. Thank you to everyone who joined in our efforts to create a home for our music, and shared in its appreciation. Much love and respect!"

Thank you for an excellent netlabel. The curation at Pause ensured a high level of output from all involved.

Every technology possesses its own inherent accidents. Rosa Menkman focuses on visual artifacts created by accidents in both analogue and digital media. The visuals she makes are the result of glitches, compressions, feedback and other forms of noise. Although many people perceive these accidents as negative experiences, Menkman emphasizes their positive consequences.
By combining both her practical as well as her academic background, Menkman merges her abstract pieces within a grand theory of artifacts (a glitch studies). Besides the creation of a formal "Vernacular of File Formats", within her static work, she also creates work in her Acousmatic Videoscapes. In these Videoscapes she strives to connect both sound and video artifacts conceptually, technically and sometimes narratively.
In 2011 Rosa wrote the Glitch Moment/um, a book on the exploitation and popularization of glitch artifacts (published by the Institute of Network Cultures), organized the GLI.TC/H festivals in both Chicago and Amsterdam and co-curated the Aesthetics symposium of Transmediale 2012. Besides this, Rosa Menkman is pursuing a PhD at Goldsmiths, London under the supervision of Matthew Fuller and Geert Lovink.
