Siluetes 61

About

Siluetes 61 was a German experimental and industrial music project active during the early 1980s. Operating primarily through the Berlin-based ZickZack Platten label, the group emerged during a fertile period of avant-garde and post-punk experimentation in West Germany. Their recorded output, though modest in volume, reflected the era's embrace of unconventional instrumentation, harsh textures, and provocative aesthetics characteristic of the industrial underground scene. The project's releases—including their self-titled debut in 1980 and subsequent works such as the flexi-disc "Wo Ist Der Dom?" and "Ich Hasse Jeden Der Mich Nicht Mag"—demonstrated an engagement with noise, electronic experimentation, and darkly introspective lyrical content sung in German. While detailed documentation of the group remains limited, their association with ZickZack Platten situated them within a vital network of German experimental musicians and labels that helped define the industrial and post-industrial sound of the early 1980s.
