Artist description
“The analog and digital spectra come to life and fuse together in 'Choose Your Own Adventure, maybe not seamlessly, but seamless mixture isn't the point here. The point is that there exists a vast empty space lying, just waiting to be filled, deep in the valley between the mountain that is Rock and the glaciated digital chill of ice cold Techno. One needs some serious soul to fill such a hole, and Nashville's Infrared Sound, with their broadband range of instrumentation, vocal textures, and drum production, have fashioned a set of vibrations that seem to bounce back and forth between the speakers like an echo resonating, like a subterranean sound chamber orchestra.”-Dickie Duncan, Strength Magazine (Snowboarding, Skateboarding, & Music Editorials) www.strengthmag.com |

Artist History
"Music is the story of life." A combination of ethereal waves of audio and conceptual lyrics creates Infrared Sound. The thoughts that engulf the team drive their intense emotion and creativity. Writers Dan Silver (24) and Dave Miltenberger (22) share the same vision of taking aural sensation to challenge the listener's sense of reality. Inspired to pursue music, Infrared Sound has grown as a writing force during the past year. Six months of extended hours in the studio brought the band the self-produced/ engineered debut release "Choose Your Own Adventure." Dan's creative flow mixed with Dave's inspirational music gives Infrared Sound the power to move into a new generation. Dave's instinct at age 16 told him to take music into his own hands. The same drive left Dave in Nashville in '97, where he met new and different attitudes of music. In search of a new musical plateau, Dave and Dan crossed paths under coincidental circumstances. Dan's work also known as 'the silver sessions', is derived from a history of musical voyages. Former member of Cincinnati's, STICH, Silver had the opportunity to write and perform throughout the USA. This took the group to stages such as L.A.'s, 'Wisky A Go Go' and 'Viper Room'. On a new quest, Dan's passions soared to Music City to continue his path of creative outpour. For Infrared Sound, the search of a vision has only begun. In such an imperfect world "WE FEEL MUSIC IS THE ONLY REMEDY THAT SATISFIES THE SOUL." Impacting the audience's world of imagination is a major focus of the group. Driven to create new forms of media, Infrared Sound plans to use audio and video combinations as a vehicle to the future. In search of further opportunities, the band has moved from its Nashville home to the sunny City of Angels.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Press Reviews
THE RAGE – Nashville, TN. January 4, 2001, vol. 1, no. 11. “Infrared Sound has done Music City proud with their new release, Choose Your Own Adventure. Dark, moody, atmospheric, exciting and fresh are all adjectives that could be used to describe most of the songs the band has chosen to grace us with. The amazing thing about this disk is that it’s the debut offering from Dan Silver and David Miltenberger (who, unfortunately, just packed up the band and moved to California). First-time efforts just don’t usually sound this good. Songs such as This Is Your Master and Citylife wash over the listener, setting the mood for the rest of the collection. Dense layers of sound and noise combine into intricate rhythms, and the result is a finely crafted piece of work that is difficult to categorize. Elements of pop, industrial, world beat, orchestral and electronica all make their presence felt. This disk may not appeal to the average pop fan, but if you’re looking for a band that is as innovative as it is eclectic, then look no further, because Infrared Sound is your choice. -G. Jason Davidson.- MUSIC CONNECTION - Los Angeles - Here's an intriguing demo from Daniel Silver & David Miltenberger and friends who have created what begins ("Introduction") as a high-concept, sci-fi soundtrack collage of old-school electronic, new-school electronica, rocking grooves and hip-hop beats sans lyrics. It took us by suprise when midway through the CD, they reveal straightfoward songcraft with the catchy, Pink Floydian mood ballad, "Follow." - STRENGTH MAGAZINE (Snowboarding, Skateboarding, & Music Editorials) www.strengthmag.com - “The analog and digital spectra come to life and fuse together in 'Choose Your Own Adventure, maybe not seamlessly, but seamless mixture isn't the point here.
