== Biography ==
'''Metamono''' is a musical trio formed in 2010 by [[Jono Podmore]], Mark Hill and Paul Conboy to create [[Analogue synthesizer|analogue electronic]] music without using [[digital sound]] generation and processing, [[overdubs]] or [[microphones]].
Their improvised compositions are created using pre-used, borrowed and handbuilt vintage [[Analogue synthesizer|analogue synth]]s and [[ring modulators]], enhanced by the sounds of a [[theremin]], a [[Siren (noisemaker)|siren]] and a [[Vacuum tube|valve]] radio.
Much of Metamono's equipment has been built or adapted by Paul Conboy ([[Bomb the Bass]]).<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/sep/26/langham-research-centre-new-band "Langham Research Centre (No 1,605)"]. ''[[The Guardian]]''. 26 September 2013.</ref>
