about
Peter Sotos (born April 17, 1960) is an American writer and musician who is best known for his books and for being a member of the British noise music band Whitehouse. Sotos was arrested in 1985 on child pornography charges that were published within an issue of his zine Pure, which made Sotos the first person charged with possession of child pornography in Chicago, Illinois. From 1983 to 2003, Sotos was a member of the British power electronics trio Whitehouse, where he performed using a EDP WASP synthesizer. In 1992, Sotos released the solo album Buyer's Market, which consisted of sound collages of spoken word samples from parents, law-enforcement officers and victims of sex crimes, including child sexual abuse. The album was produced by Steve Albini. Sotos also released Proxy and Waitress in 2005. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
