Strange Attractor

A record label born in Olympia, WA and relocated to Portland, OR in March 2002. Strange Attractor is inspired by and strives to document challenging, "out" music.

Originally a radio program called "Strange Attractors" on Olympia 89.3 FM Community Radio, the label splintered off to become Strange Attractors Audio House.

With a focus on capturing unique and unconventional sounds, Strange Attractor is dedicated to showcasing music that pushes boundaries and challenges traditional genres.

A literary mix tape that explores the entwined boundaries between sound, material culture, landscape and esoteric belief. Trees rigged up to the wireless radio heavens. A fax machine used to decode the language of hurricanes. A broadcast ghost that hijacked a television station to terrorize a city. A failed computer factory in the desert with a slap-back echo resounding into ruin. In High Static, Dead Lines, media historian and artist Kristen Gallerneaux weaves a literary mix tape that explores the entwined boundaries between sound, material culture, landscape, and esoteric belief. Essays and fictocritical interludes are arranged to evoke a network of ley lines for the "sonic spectre" to travel through-a hypothetical presence that manifests itself as an invisible layer of noise alongside the conventional histories of technological artifacts. The objects and stories within span from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, touching upon military, communications, and cultural history. A connective thread is the recurring presence of sound-audible, self-generative, and remembered-charting the contentious sonic histories of paranormal culture.
