Art & Technique

About

Art & Technique was an experimental music project active during the early 1980s, operating within the industrial and noise music underground. The group's discography, spanning 1981-1983, demonstrates a commitment to harsh, mechanically-oriented sonic exploration characteristic of the era's post-industrial movements. Their releases—including Clima-X, Putsch In Memoriam, Diabolus In Mecanica, and Alea Jacta Est—feature confrontational, abstract compositions that blend elements of noise, dark ambient, and experimental electronics. The provocative album titles suggest conceptual and political dimensions to their work, reflecting broader underground artistic concerns of early 1980s Europe. Though relatively obscure, Art & Technique represents an important archival document of the experimental noise scene's emergence during this formative period. The group's output was limited but focused, establishing a distinct aesthetic identity within the broader industrial underground. Their work remains of interest to collectors and researchers studying the genealogy of noise and experimental music movements.
