about

Now here comes quirky subtle synthpop blended with abstract soundscape aesthetics.

"The world is a puppet show, with the master manipulators hiding behind mystery as they yank and release their invisible strings. If you confront a helpless human about being controlled remotely by obscene forces, the puppet mouth merely moves in contortions governed by the string pullers."

Ridiculous. Absurd. Out there. Welcome to the mannequin bath. Rinsing and cinching the spoiled spree of musical distaste, something had to happen eventually. This is it.

It is time to study the stars within ones own soul and see how the karmic forces are gathering. This new album by sojourner Str8 will assist in the completion of your ascetic exercises and rigorous self-awareness disciplines.

iOS synthapps on the iPad Pro undertow the crooning along with some retrievals from dusty archives of 2012 and 2017 hardware synthesizer sea shanties for the oneiric oceans of soft swirls.

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

Mémoire Magnétique, vol.1 (1966-1990)

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
