Power electronics (music genre)
Power electronics is a style of noise music that typically consists of static, screeching waves of feedback, analogue synthesizers making sub-bass pulses or high frequency squealing sounds, with sometimes screamed and distorted vocals.Power electronics is generally atonal, like most noise music; it also features a lack of conventional melodies or rhythms.To match its sonic excess, power electronics relies heavily upon extreme thematic and visual content: whether in lyrics, album art, or live performance actions.[1] Power electronics is related to the early Industrial Records scene but later became more aligned with noise music.[2] The name of the genre was coined by William Bennett of Whitehouse as part of the sleeve notes to their 1982 album Psychopathia Sexualis.
