About
Keith Scarterfield is an experimental electronic and industrial artist active during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Working primarily with cassette-based releases on the Electronical Dreams label, Scarterfield developed a distinctive approach to noise and dark ambient composition across three documented releases: Vista (1989), Flesh Tones (1991), and The Jart Mentality (1993). His work exemplifies the DIY ethic and lo-fi aesthetic characteristic of the underground experimental music scene of that era, utilizing heavily processed electronic textures and abstract soundscapes. The consistent relationship with Electronical Dreams suggests a focused artistic vision developed over a five-year period. Though detailed documentation of Scarterfield's broader influence and collaborations remains limited in mainstream music history, his catalog represents an important contribution to the independent experimental and noise music underground of the early 1990s, a period marked by innovative exploration of industrial and ambient sound design.
