From the February 27, 2007 article of Columbia's very own, very college newspaper, The Maneater:
"The second act was the noise band Ataraxic Ataxia, and they “played†for no more than a couple of minutes, experimenting with sound, no beat, no melody and no real notes. It is a sound with a niche audience, difficult to understand and often ignored as meaningless noise. The instruments and voice went silent and the assembled audience sat or stood quietly looking on."
