Farmacústica, tal como definida por Siegmar Fricke, artista alemão do experimentalismo electrónico: «(...) Lots of favour for rhythms: click-electronics, narcotic ambient scapes, industrial influences, modulations, robot-like and transformed fragments of voice, minimalistic structures without lyrics and without song qualities.
His recent solo works may be described exactly in the same way. In fact, dance-ability, melody and popular sound structures never have been played a central role. He focussed on sound science and "pharmakustik", as Fricke called his new created style. Fricke hopes that the term pharmakustik possibly may establish a new genre of electronic music in the 21st century: single samples reduced in a microscopic way are rebuilt to multi-layered structures. Instead of fat basses he uses syncoped rhythms, and furthermore, instead of sweet synth medlodies he prefers clinic and clean ambient filtered soundscapes».
