about
Names Are For Tombstones (or simply NAFT) is a Filipino electronic music project started in 1997 by Noel “Nono” Acosta (born June 2, 1971). NAFT evolved as an extension of Nono’s creative writing upon discovery of recording, sampling and sequencing using computers. Prior to starting his solo project, Nono had been in a garage band fondly called Wash Tub Fill with friends. NAFT and Nono are used interchangeably by Acosta and his peers in music. The music of NAFT is an amalgam of different genres primarily post-punk and electronic music. Starting as an experiment on turning poems into songs from 1997 to 2000, the project solidified with the recording of the album Phantoms in 2001 where Nono did everything from guitars, vocals, synth and drum programming to recording, mixing and mastering. In September 2003 NAFT started performing his music by encouragement of colleagues. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
