Album Notes

Tryad, perhaps one of the first internationally-separated internet Creative Commons bands, have finally released their first album, Public Domain. The members of Tryad - Arna, Ema, John Holowach, rjmarshall, and vavrek - met through the internet after Holowach remixed marshall's work, and vavrek added vocals. Over the many months following that, they collaborated, all without having ever spoken to each other (only e-mailed), and produced a strikingly original work.

Combining elements of trip-hop, alt. rock, classical instrumentation, and electronica, Public Domain breaks the mold of what you'd expect. From the hard-thumping bass, drums, and chorus of "The Final Rewind," to the mellow, drifting sixties beat of "Peace On Earth (Same Place)," to the stinging madness of "Dance of the Urbanite," there's something here for everyone to appreciate.

Brilliant vocal work accentuates the already excellent production of the tracks. This is most prominently displayed on the epic "Witness," the music of which is almost absorbed by vocalist Arna, as composition work by rjmarshall is enhanced by production and beats by Holowach.

Bands and artists like Portishead, Rob Dougan, the Beatles, Moby, Massive Attack, and many others mish-mash together on this audio journey, the end of which makes you want to relive it all over again...

Amazing debut CD...
author: Alexander Webber
                            
This CD is, simply put, fantastic.  From the haunting vocals of "Witness," to the Beatles-esque "Peace on Earth (Same Place)," Tryad manages to create a juxtaposition of sound that ensnares the senses.  Melodies range from soothing and peaceful to yearning, painfully accurate renditions of the struggles each man (or woman) goes through during introspective moments.  I highly recommend this CD to fans of Rob Dougan, and to those looking for something new that they've been unable to find in the canned, repetitive and invariably apathetic tunes usually churned out by "deep" and "intense" bands.  This group has the lyrics, the melodies, and the soul to bring it all home.

A spectacular first effort!

Tryad, who made this album entirely over the internet, apparently, created something really cool.  The highlights of the album include (obviously) The Final Rewind, Witness, The Rising, My Piano Sings (Part 4), and the iffy-at-first-but-it-grows-on-you Peace On Earth (Same Place).  This is definitely worth your time and your money, and it'll be with you for a long time.
