Cthulhu is Sex
Cthulhu Is Sex are an improvisational electronic noise band located in Portland,Oregon.
All of our mp3s so far have been taken from live sessions on a 4-track.We are a two person band, female and male. We use a microphone, multiple fx pedals, curcuit-bent pedals, two synth of our own design, various noise making objects (like wood,metal,drills,motors,...) and we loop it all into a frenzied mess.
Our favorite description we've been given is "Alien Sex Fiend gone noise",because we both really love Alien Sex Fiend ...droning,looping,loud,quiet,scary,happy,it's almost always improv to the effect that it reflects our moods and we hope that is conveyed.
We try our best to overwelm the audience live with sound.

We also have solo projects:
Power Circus
Selfish Lover
