Welcome to Str8 Sounds, we'll have fun. We'll jump up without a gun. We are not some morons, who want to go and harm anyone. We have money spent in hand. We know the best bands in the land. Ela Minus and Georgia Barnes, Ultraflex do no harm. I want you to techno rave with Str8 Sounds until your grave speaks up and says some nonsense and you defend your defense. Your soul not sitting on the fence, it is not full of pretense. You can shout at your grave, "Get away from me, I am safe." I want you to hate me and understand: I stand independently on a free and brave land. Nothing can intimidate me.

Solitude is Solid Food

I don't mind if I'm lonely, you see,
because I'm quite finding
I'm one with just me.
And I'm fine
if I'm alone in solitude.
It always puts me in a very very good mood.
You know it's solitude.
You know it's solid food.
Solitude improving my mood.
Solitude improving my mood.
Now I don't care if you're standing there
or you're a million miles away, I will not stare.
I won't go trying to find
what regards your
problem with my mind.
How I express I myself
makes you tremble.
You want to echo everything.
That's just bull.
I am fine all alone:
it's my mind that is my phone.
I have no cell.
I'm all alone.
My mind is my telephone.
I like being all alone.
I'm fine.

I was told not to look at the bold beautiful book. I was told to stay away from the Light of the Day. But I pursued what I saw was to, might intrude, beyond the law. You be trip traipsing in daisies and you think you won't be crazy, but you're wrong there. I came to my own conclusions and you must do the same thing, too, I'm advising you. And it's not surprising the view under your command has nothing to do with the truth that you soon will choose like chocolate balloons. Please don't refuse. INTERLUDE Hey now brown cow, it's been a while, it's the one that will make you smile, the last mile. First step is the greatest step, it's the one that starts all the other steps, but the last mile will truly make you smile. The first step is the most important step, it generates all the other subsequent steps, but the last mile, will truly make you smile! Step with me at lunch my lad, lassies too, we won't go mad, we're going through the human zoo. We don't take no snacks or meals, we do not go thinks but feels, what's proving, smoothing, soothing, truthing.

This is the thrilling oscilloscope scene.
Robots are pretending they will not be mean.
But we know the reason we gleam,
it's unseemly beyond the edge of the seam.
Green in between.
The aliens are here.
We gave them a test.
They failed it worse than
one might fear.
I am walking through
the mirror again,
following you.
It's time to see:
who wants to remain a mystery?
Who wants to be unsolved,
unresolved?
Who wants to be mystery?
I lean back into a tree.
I was on an island,
eyeballing a UPC.
If you keep calling and keep dialing,
you'll see me be.
You might see me falling
from a tree, darling.
But don't worry.
I can bounce back
right up into my calling.
My parachute is very precious.
It's a new salute
for every ferris wheel
that goes along,
trying to steal
someone else's song!
That's creepy in the house.
Not even a rat or a mouse
wants to be in this house.
What happened?
How did your blouse
catch fire over by the well?
So much water, I thought could tell
that would not happen.

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.

LA BOITE DE PANDORE

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.
