I've traveled over there. I've come back here. I'm not even scared if you say Yes Sir to the commander of our insanity of our vanity of our You'll Never See. You defy above, where they hide.

Walking to the store just 3 blocks. Why drive there, what for? Are you nuts? We need the wind, the rainy-est days and two leisure suits and fit fall will not do. Watch that silhouette, is that your crew? Someone from the past or that can do a modern future very disturbed and few will understand it... how about you?

about

Brand new recordings, plus some older works, from the UFObic Software Studio, using only online virtual synthesizers, produced in March 2021 -- a more transparent, confessional, deeply private side of the artist is blindingly revealed, to much dismay and heckling.

"It's still Not Music, and it's way too personal! Does have some catchy melodies and voluptuous beats, though," the withering critic, between sips of Yerba Mate tea, conceded. "But why are his lyrics so Dada and melodramatic all the time? It's like he's trying to shape the world into an altered image, one that has no war or hierarchy. Sounds freakish to me."

Techno synthpop tracks made on the web and for the web. Spontaneous, improvised, intuitive performances, with no multi-tracking or over-dubbing, no external effects added, no post-production processing.

A sparkling and meticulously curated compilation of wav files that were generated from live studio performance videos, edited in and exported by LumaFusion to Dropbox. It's the exact identical music as in same-titled videos on YouTube.

Virtual online web browser-based synthesizers used on this album:

Disco Computer Synth, WebModular, AcidMachine 2, WebXOX, Pixel Synth, Zupiter, Noise Sculptor, Ableton Learning Synths, WebSynths Grooves, WebSynths Microtonal, Google AR Synth, Type Drummer, Sample Stitch, Online Sequencer, Tanguy Synth, MidiCity, Mod Synth, Aikelab Websynth v. 2.

The exception to this equipment lineup is the track "Bel Canto Canzonet". This is the sole track that is NOT performed on virtual online synthesizers, but was made with:

Moog Matriarch, Bastl Instruments Microgranny, Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms System 201, Korg Kaossilator Pro Plus through Boss RE-20 Space Echo.

Harry Partch instruments on track #27 [ flambé no. 1 ] include Cloud Chamber Bowls, Spoils of War, Harmonic Canon 1, Crychord, Surrogate Kithara, Chromelodeon 1, Koto, Zymo-Xyl, Bass Marimba, Quadrangularus Reversum, Diamond Marimba, The Boo, Eucal Blossom, Mazda Marimba, and Gourd Tree with Cone Gongs.

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.
