about

Plot Zero is the second album by the late West Coast composer, healer, and medium Pauline Anna Strom. First released in 1983, Strom envisioned the album as a “mind trip without chemicals,” utilizing boundless imagination to cover a canvas with brilliant synthesized shapes and tones. The pieces on Plot Zero flow freely and infinitely, evoking a transportative momentum with Strom’s distinctive synthesizers soaring across infinite horizons into vast, colorful nebulas. Restored and mixed from the original reels by Marta Salogni, and newly remastered, this is the album’s first ever official reissue, and the definitive edition of a visionary statement.

“Plot Zero is a mind trip without chemicals. I envisioned an enormous planetarium, the laser show and extreme brilliance of colors traveling through the infinity of the mind; getting lost with no limits or boundaries, experiencing the freedom of that kind of emotional and mental exploration. That is the essence of Plot Zero. I wanted all the tracks to travel through the infinite depths of the mind, and get lost in the nebula of exploration. The process of producing this album brought brilliant colors, so exquisite they defied description, to my mind. Leaving a feeling of limitless mental power to create from the third eye, the depth of the soul. Plot Zero came from that source.” - Pauline Anna Strom

A fascinating album that performs a much-needed excavation. Even if, in absolute terms, there's nothing too memorable here. Don't let that stop you! rparmar

Four Riders take Space Mountain
by Øresund Space Collective

supported by 4 fans who also own “Plot Zero”

My experience of the album focuses to vague hints of four riders symbol in western culture, culminating in paintings of father and son, both descended to the ultimate reality to where the four riders eventually lead us all. Though most of physical world and life in general may appear as null, there are scarcely summits of space mountains emerging from void. Momentariness of all may be only cause for meanigns and give reason to existence..Remembering Mr. Hofman when spinning this.record. Eetu Pellonpää
