About Us

In the winter of 2001, AtmoWorks was founded by Ambient-Electronic musicians Vir Unis & James Johnson. The idea and vision from the beginning was to create a way in which music could be released for these two artists outside the existing model of the corporate business structure that most labels, even those that deemed themselves "independent", adopted. The label was formed with the intent that music could be released at will, whether that be 1 release a year or 10 or 20.

Over the course of the next several years, AtmoWorks grew to include a few more artists and started streaming live performances from the studios of well known and respected artists, such as Vidna Obmana, Saul Stokes, Sarana, and The Ministry of Inside Things. Building a solid fan-base that was small but loyal, open minded, and receptive to a wider definition of "ambient" music, AtmoWorks came to be a widely known and respected purveyor of eclectic electronic music.

Today, AtmoWorks continues to work hard on releasing quality music from a growing list of various artists around the globe. In the Spring of 2008, James Johnson decided to leave to pursue personal interests and other projects.

With the help of longtime friends John Koch-Northrup and Matt McDonough and more recent additions Geoff Small and Steve Brand, AtmoWorks has been reworked and has evolved to include an even wider range of quality music.
