dr. metagroove has presented its weird drum and bass online, and live, for example at the Sydney Opera House and at the What is Music Festival, and on cd (included with Hyperimprovisation, book and cd-r by Roger Dean published by A-R Editions, USA, 2003). Wide-ranging computer-mediated d&b, using live playing and MAX manipulated algorithms. Real breaks, rhythmic shifts, spectral motion etc. Hear a track on MetaSynthia 2, available from Glen Bledsoe at Metasynthia.

Comments: "Dr Metagroove erupts into a soft-but-virulent chaos of crazily sweltering sound molecules; beneath those flurrious activities, Roger Dean eventually injects a bit of more-musical funkiness." (David J Opdyke, AmbiEntrance, at www.spiderbytes.com).
