The Tonos Triad demo that you are now listening to was recorded on a $0 budget at the Tonos Triad rehearsal space. We had all the wrong mics, used a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder, and out-dated recording software circa 1999.
Come see us live to hear what we really sound like!

Tonos Triad - Murder Swing
Formed in the late fall of 2006, Indianapolis-based trio Tonos Triad has continued to push beyond the boundaries of genre. The Triad is made up of upright bassist Aaron Ransdell, classical guitarist Yevgeny Baburin, and accordion / melodica player, Rod Schindler, who also plays a makeshift drum kit consisting of a suitcase, a license plate, a cardboard box, and brushes. Though primarily an acoustic band that centers their sound on complex and euphoric melodies, they can shock listeners by plunging into the intense realms of avant-garde ferocity before settling down into hard groove. If one were to try to compare Tonos Triad’s music to anyone else, Astor Piazzolla or John Zorn might come to mind, however, being that their sound is so diverse it is almost impossible to label them under the school of any one master. They seem to be an enigma that wanders on the outskirts of genre and classification yet, enters the listener to pluck their heartstrings with subtle notes weaved with pop nostalgia and the dark unknown. They will melt your face clean off!
Yeah, that's by Alex Grey! He's been one of my favorite painters ever since I saw the album art for Lateralus. He's so trippy I'm not really sure I can make it to the show in Carmel, but if I can get a ride I'll definitely go to the one in noblesville. I'll try to bring a friend too, I know that my friend in the music store really liked your video
Hi Tonos Triadidians, if I may be so bold, may I request from your Supreme Triumverate Dominance the temporary ability to communicate with your Wisconsin Bard, Rod, via the Bard's abode telephone # combination? A thousand pardons and a million graces upon you.
