STRAKT plays on Quadraphonic sound stage


STRAKT first official live performance (as a duo) at 'New Atlantis 2' at the Io Myers Theatre at the UNSW, 19th Nov 2022.

The Theatre has an Octophonic sound system which we put to good use by running a 4 channel Quadraphnic mix from Allinaire's Octatrack + Eurorack setup along side a 2 channel Bass guitar + Pedal rig performed by -1.

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,
