Kraus (aka Pat Kraus) (he/him) is a producer of psychedelic music from Aotearoa/New Zealand. Since the turn of the millennium he has released 20 solo albums on labels such as Ultra Eczema and Soft Abuse, and performed in a dozen bands. His recent synth-heavy work melds sci-fi sound-design and hypnotic polyrhythms to create new forms of head-spinning electronic music.
Kraus has also been a member of the following bands: The Murdering Monsters, The Aesthetics, The Futurians, The Maltese Falcons, Olympus, Pouffe, Mahoney/Kraus, Magic Mountain, Centre Negative, Peak Brain, The Family, Zool, and Gogg aka Clannad (NZ).

From May 19th-29th Pat will be working with multi-track tape loops, and exploring some of the recent donations to the MEL library, including vintage synthesizers, effects and drum machines.
