dr. mint - visions & nightmares

spontaneous composition fusing jazz, metal, grunge, trance, avant-garde, impressionist, and free improvisation.

Formed in late 2007, DR. MiNT is dedicated to the process of spontaneous composition – intuitive group improvisation focused on fluid and cohesive musical construction. Visions and Nightmares and Apocalytptica are two such improvisations, and have been indexed for release and radio consideration. These were recorded consecutively on August 26th, 2007, and are uncut, unedited, and unabridged.

Imagine Ornette Coleman, Wadada Leo Smith, Vinny Golia, Godflesh, Jimi Hendrix, Squarepusher, Maurice Ravel, Don Cherry, Nels Cline, Alban Berg, Jackson Pollack, John Zorn, Dave Douglas, Frank Zappa, Mike Patton, Henry Threadgill, Claude Debussy, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Weather Report, Primus, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Pearl Jam, and Karlheinz Stockhausen all rolled up into a fluid discourse of intuitive music-making.
