Diagram, in their earliest incarnation, were a three-piece experimental rock band with Joe Patitucci (vocals, guitar, bass, electric piano, samples), David Bohl (guitar, synthesizer, electric piano, drum programming) and Matt Buehler (bass).

Their first sessions brought out some truly revolutionary recordings - merging together post-rock styled guitar with layers of effected keys led by wandering synth-bass and a wash of human-controlled (rather than traditionally pre-programmed) samples and drum machines.
