LAURENT PROT:
Essentially the project of a single man, Laurent Prot, In Aeternam Vale was created in Lyon in 1983 under the heavy influence of punk-rock nihilism, Kraf- twerk roboticism and cold, aggressive industrialism.

Bridging EBM, proto-techno and synthesized dark pop, Laurent Prot was making fearless music in the 80s being recently reinterpreted (by the likes of Silent Servant, Regis and James Ruskin) as equally or more important than Detroit’s influence on the current electronic music landscape. In Aeternam Vale has experienced an under- ground revival over the past few years. Following a prolific run of low-key tapes span- ning back to 1984, his work has been getting a second look via Minimal Wave, Jealous God and other modern imprints.

Past experiences includes shows at Unit club in Tokyo, Atonal an Berghain in Berlin, Elevate festival in Graz, Tel Aviv, Tbilissi, Sidney etc.
