Under the new alias “pan/tone”, Shelbono “Barracuda” del Monte embarked on a life of music but most importantly, a newfound passion. pan/tone since then has comprised many unique features to his sound brought upon many inspiring factors contributing to his musical direction. With the forge of his thoughts and ideas,Shelbono del Monte’s (pan/tone) compositional style is that of a more minimalist rock (ROCKNO) approach rather than an auditorial appeal. In others words, pan/tone sets out to rock dancefloors, motivated to leave no one chin stroking. This is simply music for the double fisted drinkers and the all night partiers but he still focus’s on creating compositions that have a sense of independence; a sound that will hopefully branch away from the norm…word is bond!
