An early example of this is "Flux" from "Big Dipper", a Robert Fripp influenced track which was written almost exclusively as a study into multimeter funk grooves, replete with angular riffing and an almost clinically complex arrangement. True to the exploratory nature of "Flux", in 2005 Drop Trio performed an avant garde live set at DiverseWorks in Houston composed entirely of variations of "Flux", rearranged and rewritten to for the "concept performance" with a theme of composed and impromptu tempo and time signature studies.
