Oceansize

Oceansize are a band I've come across while doing research for my soundtrack. They combine Post Rock and Experimental techniques with a lot of Progressive Rock ideas, this makes them perfect as artists for my project as these are all techniques i have been incorporating and looking into for my score.

The song in the link is called Commemorative T Shirt, it showcases Oceansize's use of complex time signatures in this song in particular 11/8 and 9/8 this gives the song a very experimental feel but also because of the minimalistic nature of the way the piece builds for the whole 8 minutes it has a very free flowing and ambient feel to it.

The above song is called Music For A Nurse, this is one of the best examples of the more Post Rock side of the band utilising ambient sounds, layered guitars and in particular fast tremelo picking.
