About
Altres is an experimental music project that emerged during the early 1980s underground cassette culture. Based on their archival releases from 1984, the project demonstrates a commitment to avant-garde composition and unconventional sound design, with works such as Archive One, Archive Two, Angel chords & devil chords, and Rise showcasing their exploration of experimental and noise-oriented aesthetics. Operating within the DIY cassette distribution network through labels like Multi-Purpose, Altres contributed to the broader underground experimental music scene of the era. The project's output reflects the minimalist yet textural approach characteristic of post-industrial experimental music, with titles suggesting interest in tonal abstraction and conceptual frameworks. While detailed discographic information remains limited, Altres' presence in archival collections indicates their participation in the decentralized experimental music community that thrived through independent cassette releases during the 1980s.
