The Internet Only Band
This is music that wanders into unchartered territory with a new approach and a new attitude. It's about what's going on in society with a flash of humor and a twist in melody.
Why this name?
It's about the end of one world and the beginning of a new one.
Do you play live?
At the moment Tangent Sunset is an "Internet Only Band."
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Apple Computer has reinvented the music industry
with the iTunes Music Store, which has set the new business model for selling music. The internet revolution will be podcast. The concept of an online-only label is very appealing to me because it eliminates a lot of costs and middlemen. The internet offers much more efficiency.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If they make a great offer, anything is possible.

Anything else...?
Music is a chance to express an infinite number of ideas. Tangent Sunset moves away from the norm
and does not try to conform to formulas, yet it embraces
music of many traditions while reaching for new directions.
