MySpace a place for friends

Conceived at the end of 2004, Radiotron_36 envisioned what the musical landscape might look like in the year 2020. Combining guitars, synthesizers and Theremin with unique samples designed their own exclusive sound. R_36 continued to produce track after track tirelessly. Fans began listening WORLDWIDE.

The approach to track making is somewhat similar to that of Germany’s Kraftwerk; the tracks were simply a sub-section of a bigger, overall theme. 2005 gradually became the busiest year for R_36 as they released 20 tracks never disappointing the listener's mind.

“The Internet is an amazing promoter of music, especially for new and experimental projects like Radiotron_36”, explains Tron after being asked about his thoughts regarding music and the internet. “I think that this is only the beginning of what immense power this will bring in the years to come”.

R_36’s breakthrough was the InterCity Express EP released on April 1, 2005. “TravisB/Taxi Driver” painted the listener into the masterpiece of Martin Scorsese and the character played by Robert De Niro. The mysterious and haunting “NOSEBLEED” delivered the sinister aspects of cocaine abuse and finality. Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express inspired “InterCity Express”. This track accelerated you 175 mph through the German countryside from Hamburg to Munich.

“The Radiotron Lounge” EP was the high point of 2005 as R_36 began to draw comparisons to Kraftwerk. Soon after the release, Start Mobile (www.startmobile.net/m60) contacted R_36 to make the track “Plainsong Nuovo” a ringtone. Start Mobile is the first company to ever offer ringtones from emerging independent artists. “Knowing that people are sporting a R_36 track for a ringtone is incredible”, says Tron.

Exhausted from the excitement of 2005, R_36 delayed the next release until 2006, but did give listeners a taste by offering “Mars” and “Home”. “Mars” quickly became a listener favorite. “We received many emails regarding “Mars” as a personal favorite, almost as many as “TravisB/Taxi Driver”, Tron says.

2006 was serene compared to 2005 for R_36. April 2006 did see the release of “Static Planets” which contained the political-war infused “March On” and the alien themed “Static Planets”. And then, nothing.

At this point Tron began spending most of his waking hours producing tracks for international television programs, advertising and motion pictures. Not wanting R_36 to become a distant memory, Tron considered what should be next for the experimental project. The process of absorbing samples, metrical beats, and guitars became the focal point as summer changed to autumn. Recording soon commenced, a preview of the session posted on MySpace and then 2006 came to an end.

In 2007 R_36 offered the listeners “ElectroROCK!!!” This was a change from previous R_36 tracks as it took a more traditional approach to the track creation process. However, it is still the “thematic electronic noise with intensity and meaning” that the listeners have become familiar with over the years. “You will definitely recognize it is R_36”, asserts Tron. “You will hear more guitars, both electric and acoustic, thrown into the mix.”

The first track, “Burned Out Cinder” looked at the state of our world today and the adverse consequences we will all face should we “stay the course”. This was followed by “Welcome to Lakehurst”: a sobering look back at the Hindenburg and the tragic events that took place on May 6, 1937. “FearNoEvil” relived events from 9/11 from Bush’s perspective.

During 2007 and 2008, R_36 could be found on the "We Push Buttons" e-comps v.1 ("Plainsong Nuovo") and v.2 ("TheLiftOff") as well as the "Machines Against Hunger" CD for the Action Against Hunger International Network ("Burned Out Cinder"). R_36 was featured with over 30 bands from all around the globe including, Japan, Italy, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, England, Australia, Greece, Argentina, Canada and the U.S.!!

R_36 released “SpaceWalk SoundTrack” on 01.01.08 which produced the singles "TheLiftOff" and "TheSpaceWalk".

They returned to the studio in December of 2008 to record as a NEW PROJECT: "The Electric Red Echo".

As always: Take the time to listen. Don’t you want the Aliens to think that you are all the rage when they finally come to visit us here on Earth?
