"SOLOVOX is the brainchild of keyboardist/producer Carlton Tietze III, whose deft skill on the analog ivories and catchy songwriting prowess generate much, much more than typical "electronica" squelches and blurts. Solovox's debut album, Break Out of Prism, offers the soul-bearing soar of Low era David Bowie, but played as if both Booker T and Keith Emerson sat in on keyboards.

      A producer, composer, and one-man synthesizer attack squad, Solovox is the sound of Earl Carlton Tietze III.  He starts with his own original music which spans the genres of house, glitch-hop, breaks, electro, cosmic funk, ambient, and downtempo acid jazz.  He also remixes other artists' tracks and throws those in for good measure.  Then, in the live environment, he explodes with live synth, organ, and piano playing that is like Herbie Hancock smashing head-on into the Chemical Brothers.  Mayhem usually ensues, and he consistently delivers one of the finest live electronic shows available anywhere.

He has recently remixed Vokab Company's single 'Shine' featuring Souleye, as well as doing remix work for Hulk Hogan and numerous commercial clients.  As a live performer his legend in Portland, Oregon and the Northwest continues to grow.  In July of 2009 he became the first-ever all-electronic act in the history of The Oregon Country Fair for their 40th Anniversary.  He also played San Diego's Elysium Festival, Oregon's Emerg-N-See Festival, and Pantheon in Los Angeles.

     Solovox has composed original music for A&E, PBS, and various national TV spots.  He has recently been added to NIA's new compilation, Sanjana with Thievery Corporation, Badmarsh & Shri, among others.  In September of 2006 he kicked off KEXP's NW Electronic Showcase Weekend with an in-studio performance broadcast worldwide.  In April of 2007, he won First Prize in YouTube's Turbo Tax Video competition (here).
