Tomas Doherty aka (Atonal Tonic) was born in 1977 in Madrid, Spain. At age 17, I started to learn songs and record them on tape with a cheap microphone and began playing in local bands Madrid. We started out as group of friends playing just for fun, getting together and having a "jamdown" without a clue what was going to happen; its pure magic when it works!!!
I was struck by the whole Free Jazz music and theory, because it is pure freedom in "state-of-the-heart" creativity, breaking moulds and unleashing the inner side of yourself; as no one wanted to record unless they memorized it first, I had the idea to play all the instruments myself, . I tried to apply everything to music... from Maths to Aristotle...and Atonal Tonic was born!!!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
publishing digitally is the only way for this style of music to get heard.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Maybe.
