Praxis is the name of an ever-changing Bill Laswell musical project. First appearing in 1992 with the critically successful Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis), the project has attempted to push the envelope of structure and progressiveness on a number of musical forms not normally amenable to the avant-garde concept.
The following musicians have contributed to the various Praxis experiments: Buckethead on guitars Bootsy Collins on bass and vocals Bill Laswell on bass Brain on drums Bernie Worrell on keyboards Yamataka Eye on vocals Toshinori Kondo on trumpet Af Next Man Flip on turntables Invisibl Skratch Piklz on turntables DXT on synths Hakim Bey on cover art, vocals, and inspiration Lili Haydn on violin John Zorn on saxophone.
