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.

Dr. Zoltan’s lead guitarist, 20-year-old Jake Willson (who appeared on Emily Dickinson Kindly Stops For Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors EP) is seen here performing saxophone solos by John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter. Watch in intense fear as he looks around the room and chews his gum, barely paying attention to the complex musical passages he is performing.
