Good luck with this, sounds like it will be a cool sound. But I just have to say that the bands you listed as influences play 99% in the 4/4 box... except maybe radiohead who play around 94% in the box and tool at 60%. And of course Coltrane is God, and God has no box.

But yeah, get this happening; we need more stuff that pushes rock to the boundaries! - Mon, 1 Mar 2010 10:13am

aidan, have you ever listened to the mars volta or tool? because I don't think your percentage is entirely accurate, or relevant. danny, that sounds like an awesome project. i'll definitely be sending you an email. - Tue, 2 Mar 2010 12:05pm

I hope this project gets off the ground! Then maybe our bands can play shows together...I'd be stoked at the thought of another band on the bill having verses in 11/8 and other eccentric time signatures... - Tue, 2 Mar 2010 9:29pm

My entire post was not relevant, and I'm not good with math. But I have listened to The Mars Volta and Tool, good stuff. I'd actually be totally into trying out for bass. emailing now. - Tue, 2 Mar 2010 9:33pm

yeah your post is entirely irrelevant. Nowhere did he insinuate that these bands listed play in time signatures other than 4/4/. Glad you took it upon yourself to correct him though. - Thu, 4 Mar 2010 8:12am

im glad to hear not all thinking musicians on the island have died off. if your interested in something serious, this is definitely for you. but as most of us know this takes compromise. anyone who in interested in auditioning should be able to play in 6/4 6/16 3/6 5/4. fast learning is definitly an asset too :P. but of course we're not just going to be limited to advanced and "irrational" signatures, Out of the box means anything goes. - Thu, 4 Mar 2010 3:03pm
