Nocturnal Emissions, spearheaded by Nigel Ayers since 1980, is a pioneering British sound art project renowned for its innovative fusion of electro-acoustic, musique concrète, sound collage, post-industrial, ambient, and noise music. Originating in London, the group initially included Ayers' brother, Daniel, and Caroline K. Their early works, released on their own Sterile Records label, were characterized by a raw, experimental edge, evolving over time to incorporate diverse sonic elements. Notably, their 1983 album "Drowning in a Sea of Bliss" was ranked #58 in Fact magazine's "The 100 Best Albums of the 1980s."
