Artist
“The Lie of the Beholder,” the debut full-length solo CD by STRATTMAN, better known as Little Atlas guitarist and joint composer Roy Strattman, is a tour de force of cutting edge modern progressive rock. It is complex, tense, and shot through with dark and menacing textures alternating with unexpected stabs of beauty and organic calm. In addition to writing all of the material on the album, Strattman performs the guitar, keyboards, and vocals. The album features Nick D’Virgilio (Genesis, Kevin Gilbert, Spocks Beard, Mike Keneally, Tears for Fears) on drums, and Ricardo Bigai (Little Atlas) on bass, in addition to guest appearances by Steve Katsikas (Little Atlas) on piano and cajon. Roy Strattman is an American multi-instrumentalist and composer who primarily dwells in the progressive rock/art rock/psychedelic rock realms. He has been the sole guitar player and joint composer in the progressive rock band, Little Atlas, since 2002, and has released four albums with them, the most recent being the critically-acclaimed Automatic Day. Strattman's guitar work has been described as tasteful, creative, dynamic and outside of the box, with an emphasis on complementing the song instead of showmanship. http://www.roystrattman.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
