‘Amplitude ’ embodies texture,
‘sound of systematic inquiry’
CD review
Helen Schumacher
Pulse Reporter
With its driving guitars and
sparse vocals, Seattle band The
Building Press’ release “Amplitude
of Frequencies Over Time,” is an
aggressive math rock equation.
The group (Jeff Woodke, A.P.
Schroder and Jim Aequavella) has
become one of the Northwest’s
premier math rock bands. This is
their first full-length release.
By successfully computing the
formula developed by progressive
rock pioneers Slint, Don Caballero
and Rodan (complicated time sig
natures plus uncommon chord

progressions multiplied with gui
tar texture minus vocals), the
band has made an adroit and
forceful album.
It could be said the album fol
lowed the formula a little too
closely — at times it comes across
like a less epic version of the genre
classic “Spiderland.” However,
“Amplitude of Frequencies Over
Time” still captures the sound of
the motion of particles and light
filtered out through amplifiers.
The standout track on the
album, “Auto Mechanic,” goes
from screeching to pulsating to
silence and then chaos. It’s music
broken down into the sound of
systematic inquiry, but it’s also
music built up until it has as much
surging force as water about to
burst a dam.
When vocals are present, they
come through as static and fuzz
from a lost radio broadcast. The
texture they create is more
important than what is actually
being said.
“Amplitude of Frequency Over
Time” is how rock would sound if
guitars could play themselves, or if
physics books could sing.
The Building Press will be play
ing their progressive rock music at
the WOW Hall on Jan. 16.
Admission is $5 at the door.

Violets
continued from page 5
The four-member group, together
for three years now, hails from
Portland. They play in the city
often and frequent the rest of
Oregon, as well as nearby states.
The High Violets will perform
Jan. 23 at John Henry’s, at 8:30
p.m. If the band’s live appearance
is half as enchanting as its
recorded music, the experience
promises to be a truly enlighten
ing one indeed.
