P16.D4 was a German electronic noise collective, active primarily from 1980 to 1988. They are often considered Dadaist. Members of P16.D4 were also involved with Selektion, a collective of people involved with sound as well as the visual arts. The only member who remained with the group throughout its tenure was Ralf Wehowsky. Their music is highly conceptual, and largely involves a long permutation and 'recycling' of a piece through the use of a simple set of parameters. They collaborated with many electronic artists, most notably Merzbow. Ralf Wehowsky later released solo material under the alias RLW.
