  • Can's music was characterized by a mix of avant-garde, modern composition, free jazz, and rock.
  • They practiced 'instant composition,' a method distinct from improvisation.
  • The band's leaderless structure was a response to the chaotic history of World War II and the Nazi regime.
  • Their music was both complex and simple, striving for innovation beyond the mainstream.
