Avant-Prog
The time signature bends before it reaches the end of the staff.
Avant-Prog is a style from the The Edge of the Map family. 130 BPM, Weirdness 60, Style Influence 91.
Rock that shifts time signatures every eight seconds with theatrical dissonance. Avant-prog: rock's intellectual rebellion, dense, unpredictable, and defiant to the core.

Sample excerpt
Empezamos la canción en un lugar y para el minuto cuatro ya es otro país. Nadie avisó del cambio de compás, igual que en la vida real.
No busques el estribillo, no hay, hay secciones que no se repiten nunca. Como los años buenos: pasan una vez y no vuelven en el mismo orden.
Workshop note — Plural, presente, estructural. El avant-prog rechaza la forma canción, así que la letra debe comentar su propia rareza. A 130 BPM con cambios de compás, escribe bloques de texto de distinta longitud a propósito.
