dualtone

Bio:

..

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!

and a lot more i forgot.

I certainly don't have the best memory

Sounds Like:

the inside of my head,
after you have connected all the thoughts together.

the intense shyness and the reverberations of alone-ity

and the hidden evil.
