Pete Swanson’s music career began with Yellow Swans, a profilic U.S. duo that built its legend on dozens of extreme albums. As a solo artist he has become best known as a pioneering figure in the noise scene’s invasion and deconstruction of techno, releasing on Software and Type; this is music for the destroyed outer edges of the dance floor, where waves of distortion and deafening sound are achored with machine-driven beats.
