Within Experimental Error is a Funky-Jazz-Rhythm’n'Blues band made up of researchers at the Institute of Materials Science of Madrid (ICMM), a scientific institute belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (in spanish Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC).

Also of notice is a live performance broadcasted at Cadena SER radio station on July, 19th, 2009. This performance was part of Carrussel de Verano, a show directed and presented by Alberto Granados.
