Project By

Has not connected their Facebook account.

Watson is Frank Watson Rose IV. Currently living in Santa Fe, NM, he began making music of the electronic variety after discovering the monome in 2009. The sheer audacity of creating a device that dosent actually do anything was what impressed him so much. He started making music in 1990 after picking up a guitar, quitting, and learning drums. He has played in bands in Seattle and Houston, from grunge to punk to ska with names such as The Housewives Choice, Toilet Bowl C Monkeys, The NicOteens, and Tu Madre. Frank eventually moved on to hand drums and then left music entirely to pursue an art degree until said monome discovery in 2009.

Watson released his first solo EP in January 2011 with remixes from other prominent monomers Edison (San Francisco), Making the Noise (Boston), i am genko (Lima), Maersk (London) and TheAlphaNerd (Toronto).
