rolltreppe

rolltreppe Chris Peterson once said, rfong is a good photographer, and in order to do that you have to be really creepy. (Umthanks?) It is that Machiavellian attitude which capacitates this blog and this miniature visual ode to my favorite MIT band, Rolltreppe. Ive been living under a rock for the last four years thanks to course 6, and didnt find out about these guys until I went to saxophonist Dylans Emerson Scholar recital. Dylan, with whom I did FAP (Freshman Arts Program) almost four years ago, is about to graduate with a course 6 degree, numerous musical accolades, and a penchant for dual-wielding saxophones. Rolltreppe describes itself as a live funk and electro swing combo group. Its repertoire ranges from jazz standards: To funky arrangements of other classic songs (here is a subset of the group at Dylans Emerson recital): To crazy original compositions (here they are winning MITs battle of the bands): To various combinations of the above mashed into each other: They are all (obviously) engineers as well. MIT is a breeding ground for unfairly multitalented folks. Try to catch them next time youre around MIT! They recruited Peter15 (keys, composition) when he was a prefrosh because he was just that good, but since CPW has come and gone, you can settle for meeting them at orientation. Stay classy!
