Fran Merante With Styrocultural Antidote

This is a trio led by Ronnie Neuhauser (www.nocheez.com). The band features Ronnie's playing and compositions. This tune is titled "Schizo Goes the Weasel" Weasel because the bass line has shades of "Pop Goes the Weasel" and Schizo because Ron wanted me to superimpose modulations and various groove styles and phrases played loosely over the bass line. Enjoy!!

this is terrible! theres no nice felt groove to it.... only a bunch of different grooves put together. if you look at the audience none of them are responding to what you guys do on stage. meaby they`re sleeping?

[funky2714]

The greatest response you can get from an audience is one of silence. It means they are listening and sometimes learning. The tune is called "Schizo goes the weasel". It is not supposed to have a felt groove. That is the whole point. In and out of feels hence the term "Schizo". My suggestion to you is to break away from the "safety" of everyday music and broaden your horizon with something that involves more thought than a typical song form or time singature.

this track together with a band shows your quality on drums very clearly

I like it very much!

Is there more stuff like that from you to watch?

[janken919]

Great beat variety in this tune, and lots of modulation illusion.

Totally digging the swing, loving the bass drum accents, really cool piece.

[mikeyfranz]

wow, very nicely done! Reminds me a bit of King Crimson. Nice shoot too, multi-camera.

Damn.

Amazing stuff. Very out there, but I like it.

Amazingly done, Fran. :D

[maniccomp]

I love how this stuff inspires new moods

[geoden]

This reminds me of, and is getting the same kind of response as, the period when Dave Brubeck started experimenting with unusual time signatures, you guys are experimenting with style incorporation, I like it!

those who don't understand always mock.
