30 days and subtracting. This is day 11.

One pic, or series of one thing, for 30 days. This is day 11. 

Post-rock is a subgenre of alternative rock and progressive rock characterized by the use of instruments commonly associated with rock music, but using rhythms and "guitars as facilitators of timbre and textures" not traditionally found in rock. Post-rock musicians typically produce instrumental music.... like... the band called MONO.

Monos are a Japanese instrumental rock band, formed in 1999 in Tokyo, Kantō, Honshū. The band consists of Takaakira Goto (electric guitar, glockenspiel), Yoda (electric guitar, glockenspiel), Tamaki Kunishi (bass guitar, electric guitar, piano, glockenspiel), and Yasunori Takada (drum kit, glockenspiel, synthesizer).

The band's style of instrumental rock music is influenced by the genres of experimental rock and shoegazing, as well as by both the classical and contemporary classical periods of classical music, and also by noise and minimalism. Mono's sound is characterised by the lead and rhythm guitars of Goto and Yoda respectively, both of whom make extensive use of reverb, distortion and delay effects. The band's live performances are noted for their intensity, both in the playing and in the dynamics.

Today, MONO are playing in London with the Holy Ground Orchestra. MONO and The Holy Ground Orchestra performance is incredibly special as MONO will only perform in this capacity once every few years. So far they have performed it in Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, and New York (as documented in the Live CD/DVD release ‘Holy Ground’ on Temporary Residence) only. If past live experience or the Holy Ground:NYC Live With The Wordless Music Orchestra CD/DVD release are anything to go by, then this promises to be a truly transcendental and unforgettable show.
