Combining and mixing a fresh blend of fractal groove textures and subtle rhythmic architecture steeped in glowing atmospherics, Book of Mutations, utilizes an array of acoustic and electronic percussion, drum machine, computer and synthesizer from work that's been continually evolving since Vir Unis, collaborative work with Steve Roach, Saul Stokes, James Johnson, Ma Ja Le, and three solo albums. Continuing in the spirit of the man/machine symbiotic relationship, Book of Mutations weaves a landscape of organic-electro hybrid grooves, steady-state streams, and deep spaces, always mutating and evolving, crossfading and fractalizing, to create a myriad of new forms…. In addition to the audio disc will be a companion cd-rom containing many high quality images of digital paintings and designs by Vir Unis drawn from the past 5 years while working and listening to the flow of the music.
