Table of the Elements numbers its releases to correspond to symbols from the periodic table in increasing order of atomic weight, rather than using the traditional numerical system. It concentrates on re-released and specially recorded experimental music and minimal music, including many avant-garde musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as John Cale, Tony Conrad,[3] La Monte Young,[4] Loren Mazzacane Connors, Derek Bailey, Rhys Chatham, Fushitsusha/Keiji Haino, Jim O'Rourke, Angus MacLise, Mats Gustafsson and Thurston Moore.
Table of the Elements has also hosted multiple-day music festivals.
