Avant-prog pushes progressive rock into experimental territory, embracing dissonance, complex time signatures, and unconventional song structures that challenge listeners. It merges art rock's intellectualism with avant-garde's fearless innovation, drawing from jazz, contemporary classical, and global music traditions. The result is cerebral yet visceral music that prioritizes artistic vision over commercial accessibility.
