About
Clock DVA as P.T.I. (Prior To Intercourse) represents an early experimental project emerging from the British industrial and noise underground of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The project, affiliated with Clock DVA, operated within the avant-garde and performance art contexts of its era, producing challenging work that blended experimental noise, conceptual performance, and industrial aesthetics. The group's output, documented through cassette releases and magazine publications between 1979 and 1980, reflects the DIY ethos and transgressive sensibilities characteristic of the post-punk experimental scene. Releases such as "Bob Baker Kath Prior to PTI - Genitals and Genesis in Committee Room" and "Through Latex Mirror - Deep Floor" suggest engagement with provocative themes and abstract sonic exploration. P.T.I.'s work exists at the intersection of industrial music, performance art, and underground tape culture, contributing to the broader landscape of experimental and noise-based practices that defined alternative British music during this formative period.
