My Favorite “Math” Bands
Apr 27, 2010 Rock Bands
Some of my favorite “Math Rock” bands… Math Rock is a genre that emerged in the late 80’s and that was influenced by both the intricacies of progressive and avant-garde rock – King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Henry Cow – and 20th century composers such as Steve Reich and John Cage. The music is characterized by complex structures, angular melodies and constant abrupt changes in tempo and time signature. The name Math Rock is a term that grew out of the Chicago scene and the artists working with engineer Steve Albini in an effort to describe the new style. www.progarchives.com Please Comment and Rate!
