“…an audacious ringleader for new music.”– Pitchfork

Renowned percussionist and drummer Jon Mueller is celebrated for his uncommon technique, rigor and virtuosity. The Future is Unlimited, Always is an examination of time, meditation and loss. For live performances of this piece, Mueller employs a variety of gongs, percussion instruments and electronics to create an atmosphere that is paradoxically meditative and cathartic.

“The drumming is euphoric and revelatory, somehow both meditative and bombastic, and sounds absolutely huge.”
– Decoder Magazine

“The music registers as a vibrating, moving force rather than a mere drum solo.”– Wire Magazine

“…cerebral, emotional and spiritual in nature.”– A Closer Listen
