About Me

In 1996, Santa Clara valley natives Mike McGee and Bryce Dumont started making music together. Collaborations with various other musicians ensued, but after the demise of their last band together, Mike and Bryce decided that what was special about all the projects they'd worked on was the working relationship between the two of them. So, they became a production duo and a band under the banner of Monotwin.
A flurry of recordings were made, a few acoustic gigs happened, but Bryce was quickly swept away into the world of professional sound recording, design, and stage management while Mike was equally swept off into the world of International Poetry Slams. When their busy scheduals allowed, the duo continued to collaborate.
In 2003, Bryce moved to England with his family and Mike embarked on a non-stop North American tour. Still, the two continued to work together via snail mail and the wonders of broadband internet.
In 2007, Bryce met Lee Seager. The two quickly started writing and producing together and also created The Shed, a small recording studio in South Devon. When Mike started writing words to some of Bryce and Lee's recordings, it became clear that Monotwin was expanding.
Monotwin have recently recorded a film score for a short film "Man Cub", and would like to get involved in the film scene a little more. If you have any musical needs for any kind of media then please get in touch.
An album is in the works with a release in early 2010. Stay tuned!

The Story Behind Feff

Once upon a time, I didn't have a Mellotron.  I really wanted one, though. So, I got the idea that if I sang a bunch of notes, I'd be able to turn my own voice into a Mellotron, so one summer when the...
