the name
klaxonomy
- klaxonomy, lower case, in running text: at the start of a sentence too.
- KLAXONOMY is the wordmark: set it only from the files here, never type it.
- Never “Klaxonomy”, never split it, never translate it.
logos
The mark, the wordmark, and the two together. Every file carries its clear space and needs no font.

- don’t stretch it
- don’t recolour it

- don’t lose it in a busy picture: use a file with its ground

The first three are the name’s; the gradient runs through them. On paper, a colour too pale to read is taken toward deep water until it does: the light files are made that way.

words
klaxonomy: experimental and electronic music. 164 transmissions since 2026.
a field guide to alarms
Experimental and electronic music. Pressure, light and current, played as sound.
klaxonomy is a field guide to alarms.
Every sound here is played by hand, on instruments engineered by hand: steel, solder and source code, mechanisms cut and wired for one purpose. Nothing on these recordings came out of a box.
A klaxon is a sound built to be heard over everything else. Here each one is taken apart, measured and filed by its kind: by pressure, by pitch, by how far it carries and by what it warns of.
The research goes down past where the light gives out, into the abyss, and keeps whatever still sounds at that depth.
