Pluto (Elegy for Richard) 04:05 about "Planets" is the debut LP by saxophonist, composer, producer, and film photographer Stratøs. The album is the amalgamation of the producer’s diverse musical identities. Reaching from the visceral, distorted sounds and grooves of the death metal world to the serene soundscapes akin to Hayao Miyazaki film scores, Planets seeks to connect a narrative throughline between these juxtaposing elements. Stratøs' previous project, "DiE," was an experiment conducted during the beginning stages of the 2020 pandemic that focused on isolation. "Planets" takes a differing approach and includes many of the producer's closest friends and mentors. This album is the apex of the producer's past five or so years of experimentation with the combining of the aforementioned musical styles in addition to jazz, hip hop, electronic, and classical music. The idea of giving musical form to the planets of our solar system is famously credited to early 20th century composer Gustav Holst for his seven-movement suite "The Planets." In an attempt to recognize this lineage while simultaneously establishing his own artistic voice, Stratøs pays homage to Holst on one track from the album. The producer's own "Mars" takes the iconic melody from Holst's "Mars, The Bringer of War," and casts it in a new light colored by the sounds and textures of the death metal genre. "Planets" was made possible by the several artists who shared their time, energy, and love for music.
