Phenotypic Recordings is a new record label whose mission is to bring to light new and timeless music by world-class musicians, the unpublished recordings of innovative composers, and music that highlights the most important issues facing the world today. It seeks to give lasting life to beautiful and innovative new pieces by immortalizing them in high quality recordings rendered by world class musicians, and making them accessible to the world. Phenotypic embraces “music with a mission”, giving special support to new compositions that tell stories from unique perspectives or shine light on timely issues. It donates proceeds from streaming to humanitarian causes.

Acclaimed composer and pianist Stephen Prutsman joined as Creative Director in 2023; current Phenotypic projects range the gamut from traditional classical favorites to genre-obliterating contemporary originals, Ukrainian traditions and stories told from the midst of war, interweavings of classical forms with folk styles from the Middle East, Scotland, and Armenia, and reimagined silent film scores.
