about

Experimental techno, advanced synthpop, abstract soundscapes, and electro sea shanties from the King of Sprechgesang (German: [ˈʃpʀɛçɡəˌzaŋ], "spoken singing") and Sprechstimme (German: [ˈʃpʀɛçˌʃtɪmə], "spoken voice").

The cities residing in jello, jelly, and jeffrey's fishery are here with more clouds of funny trouble than Barney Rubble in a bubble. iOS synthapps get tested out and found to be satisfactory, stunning, and stoically heroic. Reflexive riffs not stiff, a nifty gift to the needy of ear, those who pursue the Finer Sounds of Life as the Denmark underground calls it.

Lars says hello, he is happy all the time to be pushing Str8 Sounds in constantly bewildering assemblies of disarray and dichotomy-optimized aural sensations like an octopus of melody grappling with the super porcupines of memory.

But, someone asks, what really, exactly, peculiarly IS this Sprechgesang and Sprechstimme as applied to electronic music?

As you all probably know by long exposure to Str8 Sounds and ilk, these are special expressionist vocal techniques that hover miraculously between fancy singing and plain speaking or vocalized chant mumbling.

Though sometimes used interchangeably, Sprechgesang is directly related to the operatic recitative manner of singing (in which pitches are sung, but the articulation is rapid and loose like speech), whereas Sprechstimme is closer to speech itself (because it does not emphasise any particular pitches).

This is neither here, nor there, nor anywhere for your concerns, which are to start tapping your feet, dancing your jiggy, and going skyrocket with rhythms from outer space and beyond.

All music on this album was made with iOS synthapps: DubFilter, Pepp, SampleTank, Factory, MicahSynth, DrumComputer, Beat Machine, Aparillo, Animoog Z.

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
