Mute Math: Not Your Typical Concert

May 2007
A couple months ago, I had an opportunity to see Mute Math play in Detroit. I became a fan in listening to their stuff on Yes FM. I got their self-titled album, which came out at the end of September packaged with a live CD, and it blew me away. I checked out their web page and watched videos of performances on YouTube, and after seeing their keyboard acrobatics, I had to go check them out!

I heard it would be a great concert, and but I have never experienced anything like their performance! The guys of Mute Math (Paul Meany, Darren King, Greg Hill, and Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas) are complete artists in every way. They experiment and produce unique sounds from instruments they build themselves, including one called The Atari. In everything, from the lights, the music, the acrobatics (Paul Meany, the keyboardist and lead signer rolls, tumbles, and jumps around his piano throughout the performance), you can tell they are completely immersed in their art and they draw you into the experience. The lyrics are honest and deeply spiritual, and their music soars!

A couple months ago, they released a video for “Typical,” which illustrates a lot of their creative and artistic flair. You can check it out at Mutemath.com or on Youtube.com. If you have the chance, and want to experience a show like no other, seriously, check them out!
