MANIFESTO

All sound is now available to all musicians everywhere.

Music has become a flaccid shadow of the social power it once was.

METAMONO

will restrict and limit the sound sources and techniques available to us in order

TO LIBERATE the imagination.

TO ECHO the struggle society endures.

Our restraints will be our liberties.

Our limitations will be our aesthetic.

We will kick against the pricks.

METAMONO WILL NEVER

- use a microphone

- use digital sound generation or sampling

- use mechanical sound generation

- use digital sound processing

- make overdubs

METAMONO WILL ONLY

- use analogue electronic sound generation

- use analogue electronic sound processing
