Welcome to the void of

THE NO-TONE PROJECT

 

NEWS:

10/10/09 - I have officially begun working on a new "Descent Into The Void" track (working title: "II"). Just bass and guitar. Still need to put the final touches on "The Final Boundaries", though.

06/27/09 - Finally MOON OF GRAVITY got a proper release through NULLL Records. Its available as a free download or as CDr with nice artwork for only 4€ (through NULLL). GRAVITY OF MOON is from now on available as free download, too.

04/07/09 - started prelistening for "The Final Boundaries". HERE .

02/25/09 -  got famous help for a track on "The Final Boundaries": Stijn van Couter (Until Death Overtakes Me) provides vocals to a track called "Deconstruction".

02/01/09 -  updated the site with links to free albums on archive.org and with the new split-CD with WOK that was released in december 2008.
And for other news: NightTime will be re-released and Gravity Of Moon will finally see the day of light - officially. More info soon.

05/02/08 -  "The Final Boundaries" is soon to be completed. 2 CDs, both around 70 minutes, check the internet for some tracks that are flying around there.

02/05/08 - Not much new stuff on the TNTP-side, but i decided to revive KUNDAR.. Work has started on an still untitled track/CD. I also have plans to revive DESCENT INTO THE VOID (mostly because of the success the CD has). 

10/09/07 - Small update on "The Final Boundaries" 2CD-release:
16 tracks written
14 finished, 1 half-finished
1 to record, 1 or 2 to write
The beast is making progression. hear an excerpt of an older new song "When Dark Matter Collides" on TNTPs myspace-site: Part of a new song (When Dark Matter Collides) is up on the crappy TNTP-myspace-site:

04/12/07 - Some new updates to the website. Descent Into The Void will be released very soon. if you totally need it then check www.nothre.com daily!
Added info to side-project and more to the discography.

09/30/06 - I´m not dead yet, and so is TNTP. The tracks for the split are finished. i´ll put "knights of ether" and a new, reworked version of "universal cleansing" on it. as well we plan to make a mixed track, "we" means WOK and TNTP.
The artwork for "NightTime - remixed" is also finished, thanks to Raphael . For the new CD: i have some more ideas that i will try to put to music after the mixed split track is finished. Right now i have just over 80 minutes of droning ambient, mixed with a little bit of noise here and there.

01/18/06 - Sorry for the lack of updates. The news cds are half finished. Planned is also a split with RATATOESKR and WHEEL OF KNOWLEDGE. I also plan to release the "NightTime - remixed" - CD on my own. still got a lot of things to plan. will be around 25 copies, and not released earlier than march. For a song of the new albums go here. (Forgotten Autumn)

 

05/20/05 - Live Show was great. Even jammed with DREAMEND after the show, great experience. Will perhaps post a pic some time. Still no release date for "Descend Into The Void" and "Moon Of Gravity". Started recording new songs, which will be on the next full length. idea is a 2cd series. recorded is the new track that was also played live (working title: "Knights of Ether"), a new version of "sleep 4", that is much shorter and features my live-guitar-player on the guitar, also one very new song called "When Dark Matter Collides", which is full with guitar, bass and synthi... also bit noisy. 2 other songs are in my head... then there´s nothing more... will take a long time until the record is finished, i think.

 

03/24/05 - For the live show, there is a flyer. check out here. we will play at least as a 2-piece, perhaps i´ll add some more people. rehearsing will soon begin. We will probably play "sleep 4", one very new track and something based on the forgotten "autumn day".

 

03/12/05 - First Live Date: The No-Tone Project will play its first live show ever on the 8th of April in Karlsruhe/Germany at the AKK as support for the wonderful post-rock band dreamend. It will probably be with a 2 or 3 person line-up, very experimental and a bit different than the recordings. if you can come, then do it. it´s free.

 

02/07/05 - Been quite a while since i wrote something here... well, there´s also been a lack of inspiration lately - despite the dark winter. well, NightTime is released, and Descend Into The Void will be released very soon, Moon of Gravity will take some time. Everything at Nothingness. I plan to make the artwork for all the cds that are available for download @ mp3.com.au downloadable. And yes, there has been another freely downloadable ep. Called Sleep. Also available at mp3.com. check it out.

 

06/30/04 - It took quite a while to finish NIGHTTIME, but i made it now. It´s over @ Nothingness Records. and it will probably be released there. Hopefully as well as "Moon Of Gravity", thats finished now for over half a year. They also consider releasing what is here "Descend Into The Void", which will be a new project of mine with a self-titled-one-track-cd. More infos soon.

03/09/04 - Recording the follow-up to GRAVITY OF MOON, began around christmas 2003 and seems to be finished soon. The new CD will probably be entitled "Nighttime", it will probably feature 5 tracks with a playtime of about 70 min. but at first i have to finish "Descend Into The Void" , the one track CD. Recommendation: "Beyonds" full length "Shadeworld"

02/14/04 - Gravity Of Moon is available here . As well as several other great artists. Some of them can be found on the mp3-compilation "From The NULLL Void". By the way: very nice compilation. Work on the new track is very fast. And planned is a split with Spirits Of Gaia , Necrosynthesys, and Beyond. All german artists... and sorry for being offline last month!

11/20/03 - Order "Gravity Of Moon" now... it´s finally finished and I´m working on some remixes. Just electronically de-manufactured, de-arranged, de-composed and built new! Without paying attention to pace or things like that! Tracks will be very long and strange.

10/18/03 - "Death" is in, "Universal Cleansing" is out... because of the bad recording quality of one of the four tracks, it will remain "unmastered" for free download @soundclick. Perhaps on mp3.com, too. And the good news. "Gravity Of Moon" is finished. The artwork is nearly completed and it will probably be released through NULLL Records. (like "White" a remnant piece of the Supernova-Sessions that just did not fit in, i have another track I work on, that does not fit in "Gravity of Moon"... look forward -> working title "autumn")

10/06/03 - The new CD is almost finished. An excerpt of "Death" is available @ soundclick. Not sure if it gets substituted by a new song called "Universal Cleansing", a 7.48 track i still have to tune a bit. go to soundclick and then tell me what you think of "Death"... perhaps i´ll upload an excerpt of "Universal Cleansing",too... in the next few days.

09/09/03 - Still working hard on the new tracks. The CD will probably have 5 or 6 tracks and a playtime of about 50 min... most tracks still need to be tuned up aso. But the main part is done.

08/28/03 - Working on tracks for the new CD. 2 Tracks are finished, called "Base of Self-Destruction" and "Atmospherion". Another one is nearly finished, called "Death" and the music is only made by bass-guitar, expect a 15 minute drone. And be sure to download "Black&White" @ mp3.com, cause probably these tracks will be taken off there as soon as the new things are ready to see the daylight.

Original release on Pendu Sound Recordings as a free downloadable web-release.  Discontinued after a short time. Get the whole CD as a free download here. Made a new artwork for it, cause the pendu-version sucked.

found on a russian board (online translator):
-At itself naryl only laid out when that Elephant Kundar " After Suicide ", but it(he) very low and consequently pressing enough. It is represented to such itself minimal... Probably almost without a melody.


- незнаю as the author there conceived, but at me these three tracks associate with stages after death. The first 7 minutes, the second 15 and the third 30. In everyone more increasing paints also are more condensed, the atmosphere grows heavy and as a result in my opinion so in general emptiness continuous and the dude in a shock " where it I have got ". As a whole about чень медитативно. And not to a short album and during too time if simply to lay down and listen passes very quickly

review from Aquarius Records:

Three new sonic missives from the ether, from whatever mysterious alternate sonic universe the NOTHingness label exists in. A world of bleak emptiness, massive expanses of barren rumbling tundra, of glassy black surface sonic pools... Every disc dark and lovely, creepy and ominous, haunting and super intense. And of course outrageously limited...
This one is an epic, 73 minute, single track plunge into the sonic abyss, or maybe more accurately 'descent into the void'. Long, drawn out, slow rolling soundscapes of deep swells, soft metallic buzz, and all manner of complex low end filigree buried way down in the mix, giving the track some strange inner momentum, a sublimated chaos, lurking just below the tranquil surface. Harrowing and gorgeously minor key, but the melodies here are just distant streaks, and strange smears of tonal color, everything super subtle, drifting billows of grey grainy shift and pulsing diffused light. Over the course of this expansive sprawl, random sounds surface, float ghostlike and sink back into the ether, disembodied voices, haunting clouds of high end harmonics, bits of hiss and stretched out slowed down percussion, all floating weightless above a soft blackened backdrop. So gorgeous.�



some googling:
Holy fucking shit,you MUST buy Descent Into the Void (self titled)...Its on Nothingess Records,same label as Profound As a Thousand Nights..and its very similar.Some of the best abysmal soundscapes you..ll ever hear.
