Obscure 1980s experimental and industrial cassette project from the underground noise music scene.
About
Solenoid is an obscure experimental and industrial project that emerged during the early 1980s underground cassette culture. The project released material through New Bulwark Records & Tapes, a label associated with the post-industrial and experimental music scenes of that era. Solenoid's discography consists of releases spanning from 1982 to 1986, including the cassettes Silex Hippopola and Hippopola on New Bulwark, followed by the self-released cassette Superfar in 1986. The project's work reflects the aesthetics of underground industrial and experimental music prevalent in the early 1980s, operating within the DIY ethos of cassette-based distribution that characterized many fringe music communities of the period. While detailed information about Solenoid's musical approach and personnel remains limited in widely available sources, the project's catalog represents the broader landscape of experimental noise and industrial music that developed outside mainstream attention during this formative era of underground electronic music.
