About Me

archaic instrumental wavelengths through improvisational realms of experimentation... An intriguing cross between Theodore Roethke and The Last Poets. Borders on pretentious, but in a good way. - ADDreviews.com "How We Sound Together" is simply blissful due to the noises that Alex makes during the song. He really gets into it here...The album is a very special collection. There is rawness and the scene of pure passion on the record that you dont find often. The work for being improv is well put together and sounds huge. - Comfort Comes In a place like Utah, it's wholly possible for a band to develop independently of the modern music trends, and Theta Naught is an example of a band that functions disjoint from the rest of the instrumental crowd, instead drawing influences from the legends and masters of the jazz and avant-garde world...It is as if the band wishes to synchronize with harmonious waves vibrating through space and let the undulating energy be its musical muse. Between the band's signature lap-steel and cello, Theta Naught is able to craft a unique sound that is abundantly intelligent and mesmerizing. - Decoy MusicBUY our full-length albums here:SOUND WEAVE - with Alex Caldiero (2 discs)andAbacus
