eksperimenton
Eksperimenton is a term that refers to a type of experimental music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, primarily in the United Kingdom. The term itself is a portmanteau of "experiment" and "album," and it was coined by the band Eksperiment, which was formed by members of the band The Fall. Eksperimenton albums are characterized by their unconventional and often chaotic sound, which often incorporates elements of noise, industrial, and avant-garde music. The music is typically performed live, with the musicians often using a variety of instruments and sound-making devices. Eksperimenton albums are often released on small, independent labels, and they are typically limited in number, with many being released as cassette tapes or vinyl records. The music is often difficult to categorize, and it has been described as "noise rock," "industrial music," and "avant-garde." Despite its unconventional sound, Eksperimenton has had a significant influence on the development of experimental music, and it has been cited as an inspiration by a number of contemporary musicians.
