Tears of Technology
There are rock fans, folk fans, rap fans and fans of classical music. Some may be surprised that there are fanatics who follow, and listen to, dance and electro-beat music, and little else. Tears of Technology, marketed as “breakbeat, freestyle, trance” music, is the brainchild and work of Daniel Carrone, lately of New Orleans.
Carrone and the artists he records/produces swear by the style. Carrone notes, “from the early 80’s to now” his work sounds like the South Florida dance scene, including Latin Freestyle, Miami Bass and Breakbeat genres. Carrone is “also big fan of trance/euro tracks and hip hop.” Expect to hear “dance music with flare. People ask what style of music I write and any more I just say Club Music. That’s all it is.”
Carrone has recently released This Is How I Cry” on the record label 504 Productions. It may be best to let his blog from www.myspace.com tell the story. The album “features the angelic vocals of Serenity. Serenity is a newcomer to the dance scene, but has made a lot of noise in a short time period. Her soothing vocals on tracks such as “Higher Ground”, “Sapphira” & “Rain” fit perfectly with the production of ToT. Serenity also sings a duet with ToT on the tracks “Disguised Reality” & “Where Did I Go Wrong.”
That pretty much tells the story of Tears of Technology.

Oh, dear. This is one style of music I totally abhor. Not only do I find it monotonous and uninteresting, but it is way too much a fixture of the Miami scene. I’ve gone to clubs a few times and I’ve heard “trance” at full eardrum busting blast, and I ALSO remember that Cox Radio, in an attempt to cash in on electronic dance music, bought out the Miami-area classical music radio station to change formats to trance, house, and electronic music.
So, sad to say, this is not a group I shall be listening to….
I will be honest to you. I’ve never, ever enjoyed club music. That has something to do with the role of the music in a club setting. Music in clubs is just another “mood enhancer”, if you want to be pompous, and it’s loosing something. Music is meant to be a work of art, that’s enjoyed with all the participation your brain can muster. In a club, music is just another pill to pop in, for it’s not the music that’s drawing you there, it’s the chicks and the substances and the booze. And club music knows this all too well. It’s designed to be like this, repetitive, boring, just a sound setting for what happens there.
I am intrigued by the sound “Tears of Technology” has made. They have created a unique blend of different genres to make each track stand apart from the next. I like the fact that the songs are easy going and not too abrasive. The vocal performances our also very melodic and almost sensual. This group is worth looking into if you enjoy a fresh blend of various music styles.
