ATP

For the record, who's answering the interview?

DYSCALCULIA

Robby Wollstonecraft

ATP

What is your band's name? How did you come up with that name?

DYSCALCULIA

Dyscalculia. It is actually a learning disability that involves math. Dyscalculia has some mathy rhythms and has trouble writing straight-forward riffs so it seemed fitting.

ATP

So who's in the band and what instruments do you each play?

DYSCALCULIA

Currently, Robby Wollstonecraft is the only member and he plays guitars, bass, and programs drums.

ATP

How would you describe your sound. What makes you unique?

DYSCALCULIA

I'm not sure. Instrumental Experimental Alternative Metalcore... with a little bit of Salsa. I think what makes Dyscalculia unique is that it is a solo project.

ATP

What bands have influenced each of you?

DYSCALCULIA

-[minus]-, Amoral, Far, Deftones, Tandjent, Frog, The Pixies, Gorod, After the Burial, Squarepusher, and Veil of Maya just to name a very small few.
