German experimental industrial project active in early 1980s, documented on Datenverarbeitung cassette label.
About
Splitter is a German experimental and industrial music project that emerged during the early 1980s underground electronic music scene. The group is documented in the archive through their 1981 cassette release "...Und alles was du willst" on the Datenverarbeitung label, a key imprint for avant-garde and experimental music of that era. Additional archival materials including promotional sheets and posters for "5te Gangart" suggest ongoing activity and a connection to the broader German experimental and noise music community of the period. Working within the intersection of industrial, experimental, and noise aesthetics, Splitter contributed to the underground electronic music landscape during a formative period for these genres. Their minimalist approach and use of cassette distribution reflected the DIY ethos characteristic of experimental music scenes in early 1980s Germany, particularly the krautrock and post-industrial movements that influenced much of the era's underground output.
