about

Synthpop techno sludge produced March 2021, both with virtual online web browser-based synthesizers and with hardware gear.

PLUS: stray tracks from 2016, newly re-discovered on a flimsy, swampy hard drive, drifting astronomically on a tide of fugue mis-wanderings, unmindedly lost in the bowels of glum archaic file archive dungeons.

"Neo-Fauvist Fantasyland" is presented with the kind superstitions of the Association for the Advancement of Internet Music, and is made possible by SECRET SONIC SCIENCE PRODUCTIONS.

"Another colossal artistic achievement from the Master of Nuanced Antiphonia, blazing new cabeletta trails for musique elektropop: forging new bastions of spontaneous sprechgesang [speech singing/mumble blabbering poetically] and stromento d'electronica.

Str8 Sounds explores sonic territory, pasticcio transmissions, neologistic dream fields, and gorgheggio labyrinths that all EDM and experimental technology keyboardists, emo vocoder-crooners, and hybrid drummers will set up shop in, within the next 20 or 50 years."

- Susette Sumset, Disco Android Boutique Reviews

"Monstrous masterpiece, looming like serendiptitious storm cloud clusters over the techno synthpop scene of 2021."

- Rad Vlad, Bright Wave Radar Baton.

Virtual online synths include: Disco Computer Synth, AcidMachine 2, Noise Sculptor, WebSynths Grooves, WebSynths Microtonal, Google AR Synth, Mod Synth.

Hardware gear includes: Moog Matriarch, Bastl Instruments bitRanger, Akai Force, Korg Kaossilator Pro Plus, Boss RE-20 Space Echo, Eventide Space, Digitech HyperPhase.

Arthistory dot com says:

The philosophical progeny of the “wild beasts” — or Fauvists — from the turn of the century appeared on the art scene in the late 1970s and were dubbed the Neo-Fauvists (although the same term was used to describe the paintings of Chinese artist Li Dongping from the 1930s in the memoirs of fellow artist Liang Xihong, which were published in 1948).

The “new” Fauvists, like their predecessors, who were strongly influenced by French painters Andre Derain and Henri Matisse, share a love of, and need for, modernistic expression, sometimes to an extreme. They don’t paint what they see, they paint how they see it.

Not unexpectedly, one thread that weaves through Neo-Fauvism is a strong sense of freedom in creation.

Sensuous curves, bold and bright, or perhaps gloomy, colors, strong vitality, compelling contrasts, expressive brush marks and occasional unexpected, even jarring, applications of color mark the work of the Neo-Fauvists.

Contemporary artists who are considered Neo-Fauvists include Maryse Casol, Lillia Frantin, Peter Max, Reiner Fetting and Helmut Middendorf.

Peter Max has become a huge commercial success in the U.S., where his unique combination graphic arts-photographic creations appear on pop-art posters, a postage stamp, the NBC logo in the form of a peacock, a stone from the Berlin Wall and the body of a commercial jet; and, perhaps because of his love for Lady Liberty and his staunch patriotism, he has been chosen to commemorate several public events through his art, such as his recent installation “44 Obamas,” official posters for the Grammy Awards, and the start of the Millennium.

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
