Math Camp is an "abstract pop" project which features two drummers - one acoustic and one electronic - as well as Leon's singing/songwriting, samchillian playing and unusual kitchen fixtures. A sink, to be specific. There are moments of improvisation, as well of the playing of sounds in the dark. Members of the band are: Leon Gruenbaum, samchillian, keys, singing, sink; Brian Charette: guitar, keys, vocals; Don McKenzie, drums; Falk Willis, electronic percussion.
The CD contains 10 songs, as well as 4 videos: 3 of them music videos for the songs, and one a demonstration of Leon's unique electronic keyboard invention, the Samchillian Tip Tip Tip Cheeepeeeee, which is used extensively on this recording.
