Poligraf & The Rebel Wheel May 16, 2008

The Rebel Wheel from Ottawa will be opening for Poligraf.

Strongly influenced by progressive rock and drawing from a wide range of genres going from world beat and jazz fusion to symphonic music and free form improvisation, the poligrafists propose ornate musical ladders intended to help fallen angels reach their respective heavens. Intensely bombastic or deeply introspective, beautifully simple or freakingly complex, overly dramatic or delightfully playful, the music leaves few listeners unmoved, as Poligraf uses every trick in the book to make sure that you get your wings back.

Steeped in dark cinematic soundscapes and complex, turn-on-a-dime arrangements, The Rebel Wheel features a frenetic mix of rock aggression, and unpredictable odd-meter vamps. Originally formed in 1991 as a fusion-based midi ensemble, the floating lineup has gradually solidified to the current five piece featuring guitars, keyboards, sax, drums and bass, and the music has focused more on modern, genre-blending Progressive Rock. At times large and dissonant, at other times lyrical and direct, "Diagramma" features strong playing, unique arrangements, unexpected sonics and a self-contained compositional symmetry.

Tickets : 5$
