Kraus (aka Pat Kraus, he/him) is a producer of psychedelic music based in Tāmaki Makaurau. Starting his musical life as a drummer in Ōtepoti bands such as The Futurians, Kraus has released over twenty solo albums since the turn of the millennium and performed widely in Aotearoa, Australia and Europe. Drawing on an extremely wide range of influences, from contemporary West African synth music (eg. Hama) to the outer limits of 70s psychedelia (Pärson Sound, Les Rallizes Denudes), and from early electronic pioneers such as Laurie Spiegel to the traditional folk music of East Asia, Kraus conjures a rich and evocative sound-world through vividly modal and minimal compositions for guitar, synthesizer and drums. His recent synth-heavy work melds sci-fi sound-design and hypnotic polyrhythms to create new forms of head-spinning electronic music.
“Corrosive and masterful” (Byron Coley, The Wire)
“One of the most quietly important and interesting people making music in New Zealand” (Kiran Dass, The Listener)
