Behold… The Arctopus

This is a video of Behold… The Arctopus performing live at Knitting Factory NYC on Oct 23 2005.

Take note of the following elements:

• The asymmetrical rhythmic patterns and counterpointilism. They do not hold down a steady pulse in the shape of a square. They are much like an amoeba. 
• The “through-composed” form — it does not repeat in a standard verse / chorus sequence.
• The guitarist does not use an over-saturated distortion like Dr. Zoltan does.

You will not have fun if you consume this product. This work of high art must be taken seriously. Sit calmly, away from the herd, and pay close attention. Do not dance. Do not drink alcohol or smoke reefer while in the presence of this creative work. Use your intellect to dissect its many elements. Collective consumption in a party atmosphere is prohibited. Use your own mind to judge its complexity and worth. Fun is for humans who cannot think of anything important to do. We are NOT all the same.
