The Profile

Nocturnal Emissions is the experimental music project led by Nigel Ayers, active since 1980, known for industrial, dark ambient and avant-garde electronic works.

Led by Nigel Ayers; associated with the esoteric-industrial and experimental underground. Reviews on DeBaser highlight provocative sound-collage techniques and a focus on visceral, body-centered sonic experiences.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Nocturnal Emissions' visceral, body-focused industrial experimentation. 'Mouth of Babes' is described as a disturbing vocal-collage work using infant voices. 'Drowning In A Sea Of Bliss' is presented as a hallucinatory 40+ minute industrial experience. Both reviews award top ratings and highlight production and provocative themes.
