What's going on here?

This blog site is here to talk about the science and mathematics behind the compositions of The Devil's Staircase, a band started by Luis Nasser and Tim McCaskey. Luis and Tim are professors in the Science and Mathematics Department at Columbia College Chicago and have been long-time bandmates in groups including Sonus Umbra and Might Could.

The current lineup of the band includes Luis on bass, Tim on acoustic guitar, Aaron Geller (also formerly of Might Could) on electric guitar, Ramsés Luna (of Luz de Riada) on sax and MIDI winds, and Mattias Olsson (also of Döskalle, his solo work, and his studio) on drums and other fun instruments.

The Devil's Staircase makes instrumental rock music using patterns in science and mathematics to inform the compositions. Whether this music educates you or just helps you rock out, we are here to help.
