THE ROAD THAT LED HERE
Travel continued to play a major role in his artistic evolution. In Santiago de Cuba he witnessed the Polyrhythms of Santeria summon spirits and facilitate divine communication, while in Morocco the ancient Gnawa tradition revealed the power of ritual music to move the soul. These revelations were echoed in the hallowed halls of the Berlin Techno Temples, where he learned the final secrets of the Dancefloor Alchemists and put the finishing touches on a unique sound that could only be the product of such an epic journey.
Today, when asked to define Sound Strider's music, you will receive a multitude of answers. Yet, one unanimous truth prevails: his music transcends mere sound, captivating both mind and body in its ethereal embrace.
Not for the faint of heart or the merely curious. Sound Strider makes music for seekers and psychonauts. True sonic wizardry, conjured from the finest waveforms hand picked from the data forests and lovingly blended with precision and flair. From organic analog body grinders to intricate digital brain busters, his spectral alchemy conjures outlandish aural landscapes laced with hypnotic polyrhythms.
This is ritual music for the 21st century—an immersive experience that defies boundaries and expands consciousness. Allow Sound Strider to guide you on an extraordinary sonic pilgrimage that will leave an indelible mark upon your soul.
The Sound Strider journey began at the dawn of the new millennium in the underground clubs of Sydney, where he honed his craft spinning Nu-Skool Breaks vinyl and supporting the likes of London Elektricity and Atomic Hooligan.
Before long he heard the siren song of The Bush and followed his fellow psychonauts out of the metropolis and into the Realm of Doof. From Earthcore to the Rainbow Serpent he lent his energy and talents to the burgeoning buds of a uniquely Australian Psychedelic Electronica, witnessing the birth of Zenon and contributing to the first inklings of the coming Glitchhop and Psybass revolution.
In 2009, fate called him to the Loire Valley on a quest that would consume the coming decade. Amongst the remains of a failed capitalist utopia, an alliance of swamp spirits and ravers helped him transform an agroindustrial ruin known as La Briche into an artist's sanctuary and residential recording studio.
It was here he first encountered the dying embers of French Teknivalia, those acolytes of the Spiral Tribe. They showed him the turntable tricks of the Heretiks and Epileptiks and the Genii of the Korg Electribe.
Thus began his double life recording Indie Rockers and Pop Princesses by day, unleashing twisted sonic experiments at Pirate Raves and Psychedelic Gatherings by night.
