Tonos Triad is:
Aaron Ransdell ~ Upright Bass
Yevgeny Baburin ~ Classical Guitar
Rod Schindler ~ Accordion, Mandolin, Melodica, & Suitcase Drumset
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 / mandolin player, Rod Schindler, who also plays a makeshift drum kit consisting of a suitcase, 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.

I have to agree with Carpe, even just the streaming quality of this album is sonically amazing. I also really love the depth of variety in your music. Just like Tin Hat or Tom Waits, I can leave your stuff on for hours. Here's hoping to see you in Chicago sometime soon!
