/math rock/

twinkly staccato'd songs in wacky signatures with an affinity for 7th and 9ths

wtf?

holy quads

Fred wasn’t as pretentious and that’s a win in my book. A lot of his stuff is extremely complicated and sophisticated, but it’s still very humorous and entertaining. Still love frippster though, he is responsible for some of the most beautiful rock pieces of 20th century

fucking twinklefags

How is Fripp pretentious?

Classic prog is pretentious a priori — that is half of the genre’s appeal

shut your mouth, twinklemath is best math

I don't think you know what that word means

twinklemath is beautiful and completely played out and drowns out the rest of the genre

fripp stopped making buttprog after islands
after that crims are in a league of their own

Will ‘wankery’ do the trick?

Still disagree but oh well

I just made a Toe thread earlier
Those guys make magic. I relistened to Plot Anxiety, Long Tomorrow and New Sentimentality EP recently

Odd time signature emo and music that fills every compass with sounds isnt the same as math rock, dont get me wrong I love that kind of music too but it just isnt math

this is where we post REAL math rock and get mad at each other right?

jesus christ are fucking 12 year olds on the board now?

Its whatever, i like both, and despite my post it doesn't irk me to call it math all that much

Here's a great current band I saw posted on here recently, their stuff sounds almost like jazz fusion.

It's much more mathy than emo though

Eh, it's okay. The glockenspiel is a nice touch.

i agree

isnt math too broad a term?
american football are called math rock, slint are called math rock, tricot are called math rock, uchu conbini are called math rock, and they all sound completely different from each other

Attached: DxKKtblWkAApt2m.jpg (720x540, 45K)

whatever i don't care

American Football and Slint are not math rock.

idc whether they are or not, the term is applied to them
slint are labeled as math in discogs, wikipedia, rym
american football is in the op, but admittedly they arent called math as often

Really wish Clever Girl put out more than 1 EP.

>lighting bolt
>math rock

It's mathy noise rock at best. Still pretty good tho.

math rock really has changed wtf man. lightning bolt is noise rock and if you said emo bands were math rock like 20 years ago you’d be laughed at

this

talk about oversaturated man. there’s some really good twinkle math and then just an overwhelming litany of copycats

post under appreciated angular atonal math boys
youtu.be/ZE0Pkau1CKY

the op is don caballero and american football is math rock even if not purely so

where is the line drawn between math rock and emo with odd time signatures tho? I’m not a huge fan of the idea that anything that isn’t in 4/4 and has slightly abnormal drumming is considered math. Doesn’t really matter I guess but it can make discussion on the genre harder because everyone has such wildly different ideas as to what the genre is

math rock is jazz rock with an emphasis on rock
"math rock" is emo emo with an emphasis on copying This Town Needs Guns

Holy shit this is amazing, I've been looking for a math rock band using acoustic guitar like this

fuck off

based and Tripilled

While we're discussing what fits into the genre: is TTNG mathrock?

it's as much mathrock as venetian snares is math IDM

i don’t anyone agrees what actually qualifies so some will say yes and some will say no. I think the genre as a whole had been pretty stale for like 15 years tho desu. I think there really just isn’t much to have done post-Hella and this is coming from someone who LOVES the genre

This is truth, everyone is just copying in each other and wanking of to who is more technical

Venetian Snares.
Fuck me.

we still have a lot of great classic records to listen to tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i still listen to don cab 2 a lot and not everything has to last forever

quality taste user finally some shit that isn’t the same 5 bands over and over

is alt-j math rock pls respond

no

ok now you post one
the thread is primed for it
let's get some songs with some actually fucking interesting themes or melodies that use time signatures as a tool rather than the entire song structure

lightning bolt don't even count while they play

Best thought i have ever had - We are losing speech as a trait in the process of evolution, the people in the 90s had to be more expressive to communicate thier feelings, ( this is how the acting in movie is done) maybe that wasnt just acting, it would have been the real behavious of the people at that time. Now we are less expressive, we have started to communicate our expressions more silently than expressovely [this can be seen from acting of our times movies]. Also people are using cell phones more. I guess in evolution speech takes a lot of energy, so one day we might communicate with nothing but our facial expressions to communicate. Also vision would be better in different conditoons to communicate, we want camers to see us more this may
becuase it will help us on keeping a watch over us at all times, rather than having sound(energy inefficent) we have just vision to communicate through the camera to save us from dieing.

change time signatures every 4th bar
Dissonance too
Doesn't matter if it sounds like shit

then what is it?

Bymp

what are some examples of really good twinkle math(sic)?
