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.
