P16.D4

P16.D4 was a German (Frankfurt-based) electronic noise music collective, active primarily from 1980 to 1988. P16.D4's core techniques centered on analog manipulation of sound, prioritizing physical intervention to generate abrasive, non-linear sound art compositions. As such, they embraced tape cut-up technique, musique concrète, the recycling and transformation of previously published material, and many long-distance collaborations with like-minded artists such as DDAA, Vortex Campaign, Nurse With Wound, and Merzbow. They were associated with SLP, a project composed of four different Frankfurt-based groups, and Selektion, a collective project involved with publishing books and sound and visual art.
