experimentalindustrial

Experimental Industrial is a subgenre of industrial music that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s, characterized by its innovative and unconventional approach to the genre. Unlike traditional industrial music, which often focuses on themes of technology, violence, and social critique, experimental industrial incorporates a wide range of influences and styles, including ambient, electronic, and avant-garde music. This subgenre is known for its use of unconventional instruments, sampling, and sound manipulation techniques, as well as its exploration of abstract and non-linear compositions.

Experimental Industrial artists often push the boundaries of traditional industrial music, incorporating elements from other genres and styles to create unique and innovative sounds. This can include the use of field recordings, found sounds, and other non-traditional sources of audio material. Additionally, experimental industrial often features a strong emphasis on improvisation and live performance, with many artists incorporating elements of jazz, free improvisation, and other forms of experimental music into their work.

Some of the key figures in the development of experimental industrial include artists such as Einstürzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle, and SPK. These artists, along with many others, have helped to shape the sound and aesthetic of the genre, paving the way for future experimental industrial artists to continue pushing the boundaries of the genre and exploring new sonic territories.
