Sounds Like
a really great band! Actually, they sounds a bit like these guys http://www.purevolume.com/outofnothingexnihilo.
Out of Nothing simply echoes that not so well known question by that not so well known musicologist Victor Zuckerkandl: "What must the world be like, what must I be like, if between me and the world the phenomenon of music can occur?"
Our songs: Another Day Goes Bye, Turn Me Around, Your Mystery and Be Beautiful can be found at: www.treblenation.com/outofnothing, so click here if you're interested.
THE EVOLUTION OF A SONG: the song is called "Heartbeats" - it was originally written by a Swedish band called the Knife. Go here to watch the original version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoacmWnVE4Y. It was then covered by Jose Gonzales in a much subtler acoustic style. Go here to watch his version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4_4abCWw-w. Added to this is our rendition, integrating the acoustic subtlety of Jose Gonzales, but emphasizing the rhythm of the Knife. It's amazing how a song can come alive in so many ways.....:
HEARTBEATS; Originally written by the Knife, covered by Jose Gonzales, and now Out of Nothing
___________A COUPLE OF OUR OTHER ORIGINALS:
"Something Missing"
------------------------------------------------"Time Was Made For Us"
___________"The Between" followed by "Broken"
