about

New electronic duo STRAKT is a collaboration between -1 and Allinaire, two artists central to the modular synthesis resurgence in Sydney, Australia.

Their debut album DIAGNOSES grew organically from improvised modular synth performances and impromptu recordings, shaped with nearly a year of remote sessions and file transfers over the internet due to the pandemic.

Modular synths are notorious for producing almost too much music, making polished and cohesive modular-centric albums difficult to make and rare. Diagnoses is an exception. Every track began as a live modular synth exploration, then went through a complex progression of editing, arrangement, mixing and overdubbing, while always staying true to the original modular components.

The result is a musical journey through the landscape of modern modular synthesis, married to detailed, computer-based production. Allinaire’s complex, circuit-bent beats and intriguing, filtered electrical sounds continually surprise the ears, while -1’s subtle grooves and detailed arrangements draw the listener ever onward as the album progresses. Sounds evolve, travel and morph, always moving forward, always engaging.

The final, elegant touches to the album are courtesy of Taylor Deupree of 12K label fame, a leading light in ambient music, and a talented mastering engineer.

The STRAKT duo is already working on a direct-to-tape-live-in-one-take companion album to Diagnoses, while planning a small regional tour and a future vinyl release.
