TETRIX is a psychedelic rock/improvised music band formed in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The band was formed in 2001 with the intention of exploring connections between jazz, psychedelic rock, hip hop, punk rock and electronic music.

The name TETRIX is derived from the popular computer game Tetris and the fractal Sierpinski triangle. Themes of freedom, mathematics and mysticism appear throughout the band's music.

The band has released 9 full-length albums on Calgary's Odin Audio label, and a 12" compilation LP on Belgium's MeWe Le Disque Label. TETRIX has been featured in numerous publications including "FFWD", "Beatroute" and "Gauntlet" in Canada, "Trax" magazine in France and "Voxer" magazine across Europe. TETRIX has also been a strong supporter of local independent radio, and has appeared live on Calgary's CJSW in support of their funding drive.
