Underground experimental noise and industrial project active in late 1980s-90s cassette underground scene.
About
Sensitiv is an underground experimental and noise project that emerged during the late 1980s and early 1990s industrial underground scene. Operating primarily through cassette-based distribution via independent labels and networks, the project exemplified the DIY ethos characteristic of the era's most obscure experimental music circles. Their work spans raw industrial noise, experimental sound design, and unconventional audio manipulation techniques typical of the cassette culture underground. The project's discography includes releases on labels such as Rays and Genius and through the Sensitiv Disturbance Network, a self-operated distribution mechanism suggesting active engagement with underground tape trading communities. Notable releases include "You Can't Take A Heroic Flight To Heaven On A Pretty Little Sound Volume Two: 89-91," documenting work from the early period, alongside collaborations and explorations in raw, unprocessed sonic material. The aesthetics evident in their release titles and obscure archival status indicate alignment with the experimental and power electronics scenes of early 1990s underground music. Sensitiv's limited but deliberate catalog positions them as a peripheral but committed participant in industrial and noise music's most challenging and inaccessible territories.
