Demetrio Stratos

Demetrio Stratos (1945 to 1979) was an Italian rock artist and a voice researcher of international standing. Born Demetrios Efstratios in Alexandria, Egypt, to a Greek family, he came to Italy in 1962 and in 1972 formed Area, a politically charged progressive band. He pursued a study of the human voice far beyond song, with diplophonic and multiphonic techniques documented on solo records such as Metrodora.
