Technological Sun

MUSIC FROM THE 8TH DIMENSION

About Me

Technological Sun was formed in late 1995 by Carlos Correa (bass), Emilio Volmut (guitar/vocals), Todd Quesada (keyboards/vocals), and Eddie Hernandez (guitar). Early on the band experimented with a plethora of different musical genres, ranging from Latin-influenced styles to acid jazz and epic rock ballads. This led to the formation of a signature style that was heavily influenced by classic Psychedelic Rock, with a hint of electronica integrated within the songs. In live performance, Tech Sun entertained with a 'sonic deluge' that brought heavy use of both guitar and synthesizers to the forefront. In mid-1996, Eddie Hernandez left the group due to creative differences, and drummer Nery Hernandez joined. The band made its live debut in September 1996 at Churchill's Pub in Little Haiti, Miami, playing heavily thereafter throughout the Miami / Ft. Lauderdale area throughout the end of 1996, 1997, and into 1998. During this period, the band's sound became increasingly electronica-influnced. A combination of individual and creative factors led to the disintegration of the original lineup in the Summer of 1998. Quesada relocated to Chicago IL in 1999, with Volmut forming the Nyaugs shortly thereafter and eventually relocating to Orlando FL. The core members of Technological Sun never completely lost contact, and in 2007 Volmut, Correa, and Quesada revisited some of the previously recorded material, with the band conducting some 'remastering' and remixing of the original songs. It was decided to release several of the songs for the first time to the 'My Space' community in October of 2007. More previously recorded material will be released through the end of 2007 and into mid 2008.***As of December 2007, Correa, Quesada, and Volmut have agreed to collaborate on new material some time in 2008, the first new recordings by Technological Sun in ten years.*** TECH SUN IS BACK.
