Tempos by Dirk Johan Stromberg

Tempos is Dirk Stromberg’s latest Frypronic album—an intense reflection on the fractures of our time. We remain stuck, caught in cycles of distraction, manipulation, and control. Social media dictates our impulses, corporate greed drains our agency, and governments distort reality to their advantage.

Through solo improvisations, Tempos navigates the scale and velocity of movement—always searching. Sound becomes motion, both musical and physical, internal and external. Yet the world outside remains locked on its relentless course. To listen is to step into the turbulence, to feel the weight of stagnation and the violent urgency of breaking free.

Dirk Stromberg builds sonic beasts, crafting instruments that defy convention. His improvisations ride the chaos, pulling jagged textures, guttural noise, and volatile frequencies into the light. One moment, a whisper; the next, a shriek. His music doesn’t ask permission—it kicks down doors and leaves the wreckage humming, relentless and untamed.
