the math in me

(written march 19th)

lately i've been trying to look for aspects of improvisation in all the music that i listen to. generally, i listen or hear a lot of music, but my favorite music at this point would be math rock. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_rock. this, at first, has no improvisational aspects. it is very very well rehearsed and complex. i thought that there would be no middle ground here.
but i think i was wrong to think that.
after recalling several small shows with mathrock bands or bands with a similar aesthetic, i think that i have realized that there is improvisation in the music after all. i had the opportunity to see the band, 'we versus the shark', (http://www.myspace.com/weversustheshark). in their shart/stop style, you could see that there was an unplanned element to when they would play. it also seemed to be when they had the most fun.
perhaps i am looking too much into this, and i am just wanting to have improvisation be in all music that i listen to. i dont' know.
