About
Holger Hiller is a German experimental and industrial artist active from the late 1970s onward. His work encompasses noise, industrial, and dark ambient aesthetics, characterized by unconventional sound design and avant-garde sensibilities. Hiller's discography spans from his early untitled work in 1980 through releases on respected underground labels including Ata Tak and Mute Records. His 1983 album "Ein Bündel Fäulnis In Der Grube" exemplifies his abrasive industrial approach, while collaborations such as "Guten Morgen Hose" with Andreas Dorau in 1984 demonstrate his willingness to engage with experimental pop and alternative contexts. Later works including "Oben Im Eck" (1986) and "As Is" (1991) show an artist engaging with evolving approaches to sound and composition. Hiller's output has influenced the broader experimental and industrial underground scenes, positioning him as a notable figure in German avant-garde music, though his work remains relatively obscure outside specialized circles devoted to noise and experimental music.
