About
Frauen Von Avignon was a German experimental and industrial music project active during the early 1980s. Operating within the underground cassette culture of the era, the group emerged from the Diskret Label, a notable imprint associated with the post-punk and industrial scenes of early 1980s Germany. Their output, though limited, demonstrates an engagement with experimental noise and dark ambient textures characteristic of the period's underground music movements. The project's discography includes the cassette releases "Blau Und Grau" (1981) and a split collaboration with Die Reinheit des Herzens titled "Lilli Berlin" (1981), both issued on Diskret. A vinyl edition of "Blau Und Grau" followed, indicating the group's modest but deliberate circulation within underground music networks. Despite their obscure status, Frauen Von Avignon represents an important artifact of early 1980s German experimental music culture, when tape-based distribution was instrumental in fostering alternative sonic communities outside mainstream channels.
