Band Members: Unus Mundus: Steve Fitzpatrick (sound engineer, guitar, vocals, sound processing, keyboards), Rob Fluhr (percussion, bass, vocals), and now: Leslie Grove (of A Horse is a Sphere ) (drums, violin, percussion, electronics). This is good people, this is good!
Steve started this thing but other folks are very instrumental in achieving the Unus Mundus sound autonomy. Much appreciated past accompaniment: Leslie Grove, Rife Thompson, David Mayhall, Scott Thomas, Josh Massey (of Reeks of Failure ) and Jim Panebianco (of D.S.C./ Apartment 8 ). There have been legendary team-ups with: Altruizine, Manipulated Sound Source, and The Noisettes. Family members also perform and record occasionally. You can hear random people, animals and machines on some these recordings.
