LLL
Early 1980s experimental electronic and noise project active on European underground cassette labels.
About
LLL was an experimental electronic and noise project active in the early 1980s, primarily documented through cassette releases on European underground labels. The project emerged during a fertile period for avant-garde and industrial experimentation, releasing material between 1980 and 1981. Their discography includes Hoffnung, which appeared in two versions across different labels, L L L 2, and the conceptually-titled Koshar's Theorie of the Inverse Subtrigometric Functions. These releases showcase an engagement with abstract sound design and experimental electronic composition characteristic of the underground tape culture of the era. LLL's work was distributed through specialized labels including Selektion and Wahrnehmungen, both important outlets for experimental and noise music in Europe during this period. The project's limited output and cassette-based releases reflect the DIY ethos and restricted distribution networks of early 1980s experimental music scenes. While details regarding specific membership and broader influence remain undocumented, LLL's catalog represents an interesting artifact of early 1980s European experimental electronics.
