Math Rock
The time signature bends; the guitar doesn't apologize.
Math Rock is a style from the Electric Roads family. 140 BPM, Weirdness 36, Style Influence 90.
Intricate tapping guitars locked into impossible time signatures. Math rock: geometric rebellion, technical and luminous, a beautiful puzzle to play.

Sample excerpt
Contamos los compases porque contar es más fácil que decirnos lo que ninguno quiere empezar. Cinco, siete, cinco otra vez, la conversación también tiene compás irregular.
Y si esto no cuadra, no cuadra, no todo tiene que caer en el uno. Hay relaciones que funcionan en siete octavos y suenan perfectas si no las corriges.
Workshop note — Plural, presente, cerebral y tierno. El math rock exige letras que soporten métricas impares: escribe frases divisibles en cinco o siete. A 140 BPM el acento se mueve de lugar en cada repetición y la letra debe permitirlo.
