Esplendor Geométrico is a Spanish industrial outfit formed in the early eighties by Arturo Lanz, Gabriel Riaza, and Juan Carlos Sastre. Saverio Evangelista joined with Arturo Lanz as the only remaining member in 1990. Esplendor Geométrico comes from "Lo splendore geometrico e meccanico e la sensibilità numerica" written by Italian futurist Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Lanz now lives in Beijing and Evangelista in Rome but the group remains active and continues to appear live.
Esplendor Geométrico are a long-running Spanish industrial group founded in 1980 by Arturo Lanz, Gabriel Riaza, and Juan Carlos Sastre, all former members of synth pop pioneers Aviador Dro. Inspired by Italian futurism as well as British industrial bands like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, Esplendor Geométrico quickly established their own unique sound, pairing heavily distorted, hypnotic machine rhythms with robotic Spanish vocals. Eventually losing Riaza and Sastre and gaining Saverio Evangelista, who joined in 1990, Esplendor Geométrico's sound continued to evolve, gradually losing some of the harshness of their earlier work and incorporating Arabic influences, recalling the work of Muslimgauze. Relentlessly experimental and never coming close to the accessibility of any act signed to Wax Trax!, the band has been a significant influence on numerous rhythmic noise, IDM, and minimal synth artists.
