«Efstratios Demetriou (Alexandria, April 22, 1945 New York, June 13,1979)
better known as Demetrio Stratos was an Italian lyricist, multi-instrumen
talist, music researcher, and co-founder, frontman and lead singer of the
Italian progressive rock, jazz fusion[/i] band Area International POPular
Group.»

«Stratos recorded many records, and toured festivals in Italy, France, 
Portugal, Switzerland, Netherlands, Cuba, U.S. with Area, as well as a so
lo artist and in collaboration with other artists.He worked together with
musicians, singers, writers, poets, directors, men of learning such as Mo
gol, Lucio Battisti, Gianni Sassi, Gianni Emilio Simonetti, Juan Hidalgo,
Walter Marchetti, John Cage,Tran Quang Hai,Merce Cunningham,Jasper Johns,
Andy Warhol, Grete Sultan, Paul Zukofsky, Nanni Balestrini,Claude Royet-
Journoud, and Antonio Porta.»

«He studied ethnomusicology, vocal extensions, Asian music chant,compared
musicology, the problem of ethnic vocality, psychoanalysis, the relation
ship between spoken language and the psyche, the limits of the spoken 
language. He was able to reach 7,000 Hz, and to perform diplophony,triplo
phony,and also quadrophony.Daniel Charles has described him as the person
who decimated monody by the demultiplication of the acoustic spectrum.His 
vocal abilities were explored and documented.»

«Stratos died in New York City Memorial Hospital on June 13, 1979 at the
age of thirty-four. His mission was to free vocal expression from the sla
very of language and pretty melodies. He considered the exploration of vo
cal potential as a tool of psychological and political liberation. 
His study of the voice used as a musical instrument carried him to reach
for the limits of human capabilities. The amazing research of Stratos 
brings many suggestions of unexplored fields of research that are still
to be studied» Source: http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/8223472
