about

Spontaneous synthpop improvisations on Groovebox, SeaQuence, DrumComputer, WorldSynth apps on iPad Pro. Sea shanties from the blue shadows of oceanic solitude, flickering with gold lightning over the porcelain moon and mood.

"Further adventures in Streight's peculiar Sprechgesang (German: "speech singing") and robust digital gorgheggios, mixed with inter-galactic galliard pieces, flinging reverberant space debris with abandoned glee.

This is the latest installment of the unpopular fulfilling of his repulsive promise to provide atrocious advance foreshadowings of The Music To Come Much Later in History, and we must endure it, since he claims that "the future wants its music now." If this is what the future desires, maybe it won't be quite so bad after all.

Relax with melodic quirks and lyrical smirks, as the Neo Fauvist voyage takes you to new sonic realms of wonder and delight."

- Scraggly Sam, ORGAN GRINDERS WEEKLY

about

Str8 Sounds Peoria, Illinois

At age 6, I was changing speeds on reel to reel tape recorders & thus was born an electronic musician, Str8 Sounds, on physical synthesizers, digital loops, samples, online instruments, field recordings, slide whistles, harmonicas, etc.

Gave Andy Warhol a tape of my music, NYC 1986.

1st official Str8 Sounds performance was @ Montage of Madness festival, Canton, IL, 1991, sponsor - Ed Carper. ... more

LA BOITE DE PANDORE
by Lieutenant Caramel

Lieutenant Caramel (Philippe Blanchard) is my favorite composer. He makes brilliant audio collages with a deft hand that knows perfectly how to orchestrate the strangest sounds for pure anti-music. Str8 Sounds
