Contagious Orgasm is the long-running experimental project of Japanese sound artist Hiroshi Hashimoto, active since 1987. Known for his boundary-pushing approach to noise, ambient, and industrial soundscapes, Hashimoto’s work explores the intersections of sonic texture, field recordings, and abstract composition. Over decades, Contagious Orgasm has released numerous albums on prominent underground labels and collaborated widely within Japan’s experimental scene, establishing a distinctive presence rooted in emotional intensity and sonic experimentation that continues to influence global noise and electronic music circles.
