Most of Starkland's recordings are devoted to the music of single composers, including Charles Amirkhanian, Phillip Bimstein, Martin Bresnick, Jay Cloidt, Paul Dolden, Paul Dresher, Robert Een, Roger Kleier, Guy Klucevsek, Elliott Sharp, and Pamela Z. Starkland's two most ambitious projects have focused on surround sound.
For the label's Immersion DVD (released in 2000), Steenland commissioned 13 leading-edge composers to create pieces for high-resolution surround sound.
The commissioned composers, all of whom created their first high-resolution surround-sound pieces, are: Paul Dolden, Paul Dresher, Ellen Fullman, Phil Kline, Lukas Ligeti, Ingram Marshall, Merzbow, Meredith Monk, Bruce Odland, Pauline Oliveros, Maggi Payne, Carl Stone, and Pamela Z. Immersion has been praised in such major publications as Stereophile and Sound & Vision, and at times has been the #1 bestselling DVD-Audio at Amazon.com.
The New Yorker described the release as "A special-project disk in which Kline created, out of extravagant electronic means... an audio-visual feast that balances hipster zen with the seriousness of Bach and Wagner.
Starkland also distributes CDs from other labels, including Paul Dresher's Slow Fire, Steven Mackey's Ravenshead and Erling Wold's A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil.
