Hey everyone, drummer of the band here. Just wanted to say thank you all for the comments and loving this music as much as we enjoyed making it. We each still keep in touch, but are off on our own adventures. Probably gotta get a hang again someday. Some of my best musical memories for sure.
I'd love to see/hear any new stuff if you all get back together sometime! In the meantime, though, did anyone from the group record and release anything on their own?
I grew up in the city and used to wander the streets at night. This beautiful beautiful music sounds like something you would encounter coming out of a late night cafe or an open garage door on a warm summer evening.
currently their first EP is just available via digital download (through their bandcamp).. but we're preparing to release their new EP and we're thinking of doing a small run of 25-50 CD's.
The drummer from def leppard only had one arm. Apparently he donated it to this drummer so he could have 3. Holy crap. Stunned. Incredible. It feels like Frank Zappa meets Dave Matthews. Or maybe something completely new. Either way, keep it up. That was unreal.
So talented and tight. The rhythm section is SO TIGHT! I always listen to this song when I have a bad day. The resolution at the end of this song always gives me tingles.
are you fucking serious this actually exists?!?!?! Exceptional. Purely and truly. You carried the funk through a window of precision and playful exuberance and self-awareness and I'm just glad I found this. Pardon me while I wipe my desk clean.
This is amazing. These guys have manage to do something pretty out there and different without any question of it being pretentious. Also, dem cymbals...
A long time ago I used to like live rock gigs. Rock can be pretty fluid and ad-libbing was great. Then as rock got more pop the "slackness" and "mistakes" that are pretty inevitable in live shows start to grate. I think maybe this kind of jazzy math rock might be worth going back to live gigs for.
GloomEmbraced the closest (and I use the term loosely here) band I've seen to date like these guys was Thank You Scientist. give em a listen. they were SPECTACULAR live.
BaronVonProud I don't know about neo-classical. The lines between jazz/anti-folk/prog get really messed up with music like this which is why it's good. The best genre to use for searching for this kind of stuff though is Math-rock, though everybody in the business hates the term. Specifically this is midwest styled math-rock.
Thanks for your comments guys! BaronVonProud Not big on Slow Six, but Balmorhea's River Arms album is definitely something I can study to. I like the softness of the piano, but can't really appreciate it anymore than that because I'm not well versed in music theory. CassiusFA What do you mean by midwest styled? Is that something I'd be able to find, or do I just have to know what Math Rock in the midwest sounds like? Because I have no idea what that sounds like... Any specific bands you might know? DementedAugmented Very cool group, and haven''t heard much like it. The melodies and structure remind me of this experimental hardcore group called 'The Number Twelve Looks Like You' VERY different from cellar and point tonally speaking, but they have the same sort of jarring melodies that you can still get entranced in IMO
I'd say we versus the shark and shapes like dinosaurs. Clever girl sound kind of mid-west but they're from the east cost, same with palmkite. By midwest I mean that you can clearly hear the influence of american football and various other bands from the mid west area in the 90's within the music, it's different from mathrock on the east coast for example where you have bands like Giraffes? Giraffes! and Don Caballero who tend to have more of a fripp vibe. I hope this helps, all bands mentioned are recommended listens!
@@yossirafa100 there are free distribution platforms like routenote, onerpm or cdbaby to name a few, they keep 15% of the royalties but it doesn't cost you anything
I've never seen someone hold a bow like that. Is there a reasoning behind it or did you just never formally learn how to play violin. Either way it sounds great!
MOUTH VIBRATO: This effect will only work on the upper notes of the instrument. After striking one of the upper notes, put your mouth about one to two inches above the bar. By opening and closing your mouth the bar will respond with a “vibrato” type of sound. The mouth cavity is approximately the size of the upper resonators; therefore, by opening and closing your mouth, the intensity of the sound is diminished and amplified. if you listen closely to the music you can hear the wobbles. adds a nice texture
To be fair, it isn't all that different. Not to bash the band or anything but there are a lot of bands these days with a similar sound. To name a few examples, Toe, Fugue, Enemies, Piglet, Weye. All great bands in my opinion though.
Yeah, I agree they all have distinct sounds and it's easy to tell them apart, but I was just saying it isn't really all that "out there and different".

Are there any side projects from any of the band members? Would love to hear some branch off stuff
Yea! Steve is in a band called Monobody and I’ve been nurturing a solo project with a new album on the way
@@MathJudson dayum! I love Monobody. Looking forward to your album. This was a very nice listening experience
Hey man, will you ever upload some of Reinassance Sound stuff to Spotify?
I have searched so many word combinations of "dwarves, renaissance, elves" and finally have reunited with this song
Hopefully you haven't lost it again, but if you did here's a comment to bring you back!
@@wrytte Thanks! Listening again now :)
The bassist and drummer are so in sync, it really makes the whole song. What I would give to have that level of synchronicity with someone.
After watching a couple of times i've noticed that they appear very similar. This is just my assumption, but perhaps they are brothers.
Hey im a drummer and i sleep with my bassist
I have just enough musical knowledge to have my mind blown, not enough to critique.
Listening to this band made me not eat dwarfs.

that bass is killer damn
for real - anyone know where we can listen to any of these guys now?
Brian Ranwick they have a bendcamp I think
The bass player is actually in a band called Monobody
monobody.bandcamp.com/
ive been trying to remember who these guys were after hearing this like two years ago thank god i found this again
+TheBBQify care to share some video with same essence?
Ive been craving for such thing eversince ive found these guys.
Ahmad Hafizudin Azmi Eatenbybears
Ahmad Hafizudin Azmi try little tybee. Same vibe but less bass, more guitar.
The drummer from def leppard only had one arm. Apparently he donated it to this drummer so he could have 3. Holy crap. Stunned. Incredible. It feels like Frank Zappa meets Dave Matthews. Or maybe something completely new. Either way, keep it up. That was unreal.
Haha nice, that is a very on point description to the sound!
I've played with the drummer and violinist, House Cafe! Great times. Excellent musicians!
So talented and tight. The rhythm section is SO TIGHT! I always listen to this song when I have a bad day. The resolution at the end of this song always gives me tingles.
Definitely a group I miss. I wonder if these folks ever continued with something else after this.
still listening to this in 2019
2021
2023 we still here still coming back to it!!
very happy to stumble upon this classic today
are you fucking serious this actually exists?!?!?! Exceptional. Purely and truly. You carried the funk through a window of precision and playful exuberance and self-awareness and I'm just glad I found this. Pardon me while I wipe my desk clean.
Jay Straw ugh. wtf hipster get off TH-cam. it was as bad as you probably smell.
john kubik
Who is still using hipster as an insult...? Get with the times.
This is easily one of the best perfomances in the world.
I have this bookmarked, and just found it again. Thank you all.
This is amazing. These guys have manage to do something pretty out there and different without any question of it being pretentious.
Also, dem cymbals...
you guys are some flavor savers bringin that true blue i can take home
This is one awesome piece of music.
beautiful, I like the unpredictable aspect in this music. perfect jam
i dont remember how this even got on my music playlist but im very ok with it
Holy shit that bassline is awesome.
It's so nice, watching them play

I can also endorse John McLaughlin and the Fourth Dimension. Some of the tightest live playing and jamming I've ever heard.
Cool tune. Had to download that EP.
When the violin and vibes come in -- DAMN!!
Awesome work! Greetings from Colombia, South America.
At the beginning I was like, get those guys a mic. Then I was blown away :). I'm not sure what this is, but it makes me happy.
this is what you get when you put all your best music theory students in a band room.
Fucking awesome, absolutely love it, have to buy EP now.
Sent here by a bass player from work. Great work 👍
new favorite band right now
Beautiful!

How do you know this isn't jazz?
Look up The Mercury Program :)
this is just a group of super-musicians
I want to hear more music like this. Is this any type of genre or style? Are there other bands like this? I want MOAR!
It's Neo-Classical/Post-Rock. Check out Slow Six and Balmorhea.
BaronVonProud I don't know about neo-classical. The lines between jazz/anti-folk/prog get really messed up with music like this which is why it's good.

celler and point- check them out

good god
catchy
4:55
Sounds like a Zappa record.
You listen about a thing called "math rock" ?
Someone please explain me, I can't figure out how the rythm of the song is constructed :(
Math rock, baby
Ab Cd First gimmick is three bars of 5/4 and one bar of 7/8, then it's 4/4 all the way and the last part is 6/8. It's not that complicated.
Yattahable actually, the intro is two bars of 4 followed by a bar of 3. the anticipating of the downbeat gives a feel of that odd metered beat.
@@matthewholter645 this is correct
Why isn't this band on Spotify.....
It costs 15$ a year to keep a song on spotify apperantly
@@yossirafa100 there are free distribution platforms like routenote, onerpm or cdbaby to name a few, they keep 15% of the royalties but it doesn't cost you anything
holy fuck
Can someone explain that bow hold now?
I've never seen someone hold a bow like that. Is there a reasoning behind it or did you just never formally learn how to play violin. Either way it sounds great!
Oof, well done.
What's the technique the vibe player is doing when it looks like he's blowing on it?

@@wrytte Jesus thank for for answering over a year later. Completely forgot I asked this and now I'm so satisfied.
total coincidence, but great music!
Not sure how I feel about the Xylophone, rest was on point!
FullMetalWhiteboy hate to be that person but that's a vibraphone.
That's because it's a vibraphone, not a xylophone. They can do that kind of stuff. haha
To be fair, it isn't all that different. Not to bash the band or anything but there are a lot of bands these days with a similar sound. To name a few examples, Toe, Fugue, Enemies, Piglet, Weye. All great bands in my opinion though.
ooh Stevens on vibes...scandalous /s
Is that a bad thing?
Haha I only know Steven's so that's what I use on vibes.
Lol I was taught Burton’s first, but Stevens is way better
Yeah, I agree they all have distinct sounds and it's easy to tell them apart, but I was just saying it isn't really all that "out there and different".
>liking jazz
tell that to sleeping beatuy
what the fuck is this black magic the xylophone guys doin at 1:36?
I hope ya'll feel the same about gnomes
they must like les claypools solo work
The most epic song with the most epic song name from the most epic band :D (first)
2skilled4me
what rhythm is this in?
Most of it is 4/4, there's a bit of 12/4 at 4:42. 12/8? High school is only getting farther.
Glenn Mitchell beginning is definetely not 4/4
Beginning is 11/4 or more likely if written, 2 measures 4/4 and 1 3/4, maybe 1 of 4/4 and 1 7/4.
Math rock without the rock style. No Guitars. Nice!
Who need guitar when your bassist is that good
I love this, but what is the white blonde guy on the drum chair doing/playing? I'm confused. Amazing group tho
Probably the audio engineer
Nope not audio engineer. He was just there enjoying the tunes while we shot the vid.
Very interesting.
