I certainly don't have the best memory

the inside of my head,
after you have connected all the thoughts together.
the intense shyness and the reverberations of alone-ity
Check out the Dualtone Page on Facebook! Become a Fan!
What started off as an experiment with DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation) by Iva Sadon at the age of 14 with a 5 yr-old laptop has transformed into a full-band with a sound that is trademark of Dualtone, where contrasting opposites meet in the grey space in between, creating lush electronic soundscapes and hard-hitting industrial beats.
Fueled by empathy and estrangement,
Dualtone is the dustbunny of memories and feelings forced to the back of the head, to be forgotten.
The Unrequited Love/Obsession, the Perennial Frustration, the Social Isolation, the Awkward Shyness
& the Alone-ity, they all gather up in front of the laptop to recreate themselves in musical tunes,
electronic notes & soft synths, to the beats of an Industrial god, never to be forgotten.
Laced with poetic injustice, they carve their existence into the arms of the drugged sleep of the Host,
where dreams constantly shapeshift like a dark aurora against a lapis lazuli sky.

oh heidi-ho!
this great big wide gaping hole you've trespassed graciously is the den of Dualtone, sometimes artist and most of the time musician. if you don't believe me, stick your finger up your ass and feel that haemorroid forming just right about...there.
we (there's only me actually, but i like to pretend there's more than one whore in this band) mainly sell imported goods like la cucaracha and russian fries, occasionally asian tictacs, but most of the time we spawn sad songs about being lonely just to prove we're much more melancholic than the emo fucks out there with they flippydingdong hair.
sometimes we also generate holy tribulations and songs about being flawed.
all songs are 100% perfection guaranteed.
if you think otherwise, stick that finger up your ass until it comes out of your nostrils, and then laugh at this ridiculous passage.
P/S: I do try my best to reply to your mail, sometimes I am a month late but I still read and reply them. So, don't lose hope!

Yeah, will do! :] I plan to get copy of your EP! Your songs are seriously mindblowing. I've never really heard an asian band that makes music like you guys!
U weren't bothered by all the cussing & expletives at NIN live?
Your Asian-ness wasn't offended? That's good. Cos not long ago,
somebody
here in Singapore would've gotten into trouble for Trent's lyrics &
outbursts, including performing Closer live. All in the name of Asian
values, my friend! When Trent apologized for taking so long to come to
S'pore, he needn't have cos it was Singapore that wasn't ready for him.
The authorities had to forgo intolerance & being uptight only becos
of the Internet & fear of alienating the young. It's all down to
national agendas... even when it comes to your music! Hence... me
today... also about agendas too! Now that the 'revolution' has begun,
who do you think I was singalong to the chorus of Closer for? Ha ha ha
ha... 66.6% blessed! With the god of lightning in tow. Ha ha ha ha...
"Bow down before the ones you serve/you're gonna get what you
deserve..."
Someone please tell that 'feminist mentor' Dr. Thio Su Mien that her contention about AWARE is misguided! Singapore has no law against lesbianism (duh!) and AWARE is a women's organisation. Tell her to fire her blanks at Friday.com or PinkDot.com and stop wasting our country's rightist credibility (already at risk in today's Net age). Besides, feminism is about equal rights even in sexual preference. Where the hell did she get her feminism from? UNIQUELY Singapore? It figures.
Just writing to let you know about the arrival of another new album from misophone- I sit at open windows, on another-record. (another-record.com, myspace.com/anotherrecord) Due out on May 5th.
The album contains 12 unreleased songs, including the previously lost archive tracks ‘castles in the sand’ & ‘cow bell blues’.
