[edit] Background

Twotone is one of the pseudonyms of Ryan Gobbe (born 1980), an Australian electronic musician. He has also recorded as Mieli. Ryan Gobbe studied Music Production at the Southern Cross University and graduated in 2000. Twotone's debut album Cinecity was released in 2004 by the Australian independent record label Bug Records.

[edit] Music

The music of Twotone features regular techno conventions, such as a regular kick drum and snare beat, but these sounds are augemented by irregular rhythmic placements and supplamental click and cut sounds. Traditional synthesis methods and sounds are often employed, often repeating a simple chord pattern. Other featured sounds are vocal snippets and occasional industrial samples.

The debut album Cinecity received favourable reviews, with some praise describing it as an "impeccably produced collection".^[1] Other comments made on the music have been less positive, with comments such as the "while ‘Cinecity’ doesn’t really re-invent the minimal-techno wheel, that’s less important here than the sense of warmth and widescreen atmosphere that permeates through all of the tracks".^[2]
