Stutter

STUTTER started as an improvisational music collective based out of Louisville, Kentucky USA in the nihilistic days of late 1970's punk, industrial music and DIY aesthetics. Its influences included electro-acoustic, progressive, free jazz improvisation, electronic, psychedelic, musique concrete, new music, 'krautrock' and industrial noise, as readily as Fluxus, Dada and Futurist sound art experiments and performance art. Various founding members were affiliated with the Louisville School of Art, Louisville Visual Arts Association and ARF (Artists Resistance Front).
