Details:
Theta Naught is a purely instrumental, improvisational group of friends/musicians that formed in Salt Lake City, Utah near the end of 2002. Theta Naught is comprised of Ryan (bass, guitar), Jared (keys), Peter (cello), Darren (drums), and Greg (lap-slide). They have played around with different sounds, structures, amplification methods, mathematical equations, computer processors, and such, and finally recognized that their best music and sounds would generate at the time of origination.

All five members of Theta Naught have been or currently are pursuing their goals of higher education at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Darren graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering; Ryan completed a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering; Peter is continuing with a Bachelor of Arts in Romantic Languages; Jared is pursuing a double Bacheloreate in Political Science and Economics. They all find themselves easily entertained with math jokes, deep conversations regarding the fourth dimension, quoting all genres of movies, and tying knots. They all enjoy continuing their education, are international travelers, and speak several foreign languages fluently.

Theta Naught's first release "Something Scientific" featured the work of Taylor on guitar and Oliver on guitorgan and lap-slide guitar. The two have left the band for familial and scholastic pursuits and responsibilities.

Theta Naught is scheduled to release a second album in August 2004 titled "Abacus." This album promises to be much more musically advanced and mathematically driven than the debut album. Ryan and Darren have worked diligently on creating incredibly odd mathematical time signatures based on binary code strings, and the Fibonacci sequence. But don't fret, they're still the same improvisational space rock band they've always been.
