Created from the vision of a guitarist/producer and anthropologist, Monotronic combines his love for music with his inspiration from other cultures. Much of these influences are a result of his extensive travels throughout India and Southeast Asia. Spending two years backpacking throughout the world and studying Indian music in Calcutta, Monotronic later returned to Southeast Asia as a graduate student and lived among the Orang Rimba tribe in the rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia for 2 years. Living this “collective” mode of life where the group is valued over the individual and everything is shared is an idea brought to Monotronic, where every musician is encouraged to bring their own creativity to produce truly “collective” music.
“Monotronic is a concept, whereby each instrument can be heard as a continuation of the other and the music sounds as one distinct whole, emanating from a single source.” The artist takes a hands-on approach, producing both the music and videos for Monotronic. The band’s work, specifically the singles “Kids of Summer” and “Buy Yourself a Dream“, have garnered radio play and both songs premiered at #1 on VEVO’s Incoming Indie playlist.
