The AMM percussionist and founder spills the beans. . Meta Music is a viewpoint "mediated through the developing critical discourse of adaptionism; a perspective grounded in Darwinian conceptions of human nature. Music herein is examined for its cognitive and generative qualities to see how our evolved biological and emergent cultural legacy reflects our needs and dreams. This survey visits ethnomusicology, folk music, jazz, contemporary music and "world music" as well as focusing upon various forms of improvisation observing their effect upon human relations and aspirations. However, there are also analytical and ultimately positive suggestions towards future metamusical practices. These mirror and potentially meet the aspirations of a growing community who wish to engage with the world with all its history and chance conditionals by applying a free-will in making music that is creative and collegiate." So there you go. A beautifully designed and produced paperback and a Fine Copy of the First and so far only edition.
