Biography

Die Form is a French industrial and electronic band formed in 1977.

Electronic music is a term for music created using electronic devices. ...

Consisting of Philippe Fichot and Éliane P., the project is known for its innovative music and darkly erotic imagery. Live performances have involved video and film projection, live voices over pre-recorded music, and strong sado-masochistic themes. Philippe Fichot is also a photographer, and creates all the album art. A collar is a common symbol in BDSM. BDSM is any of a number of related patterns of human sexual behavior. ...
