Press Release Body = BOSTON, MA. - Net Dot Music, Inc. announces the simultaneous
release of four new full-length CDs in the jazz/world fusion genres by bass guitar
and keyboard player Gino Foti.

\"Orbis Terrarum\" (14 tracks, 66:10) - Exploring the relationships between diverse
musical traditions and the dichotomy of rhythm and melody of the bass guitar, this
aural travelogue blends intricate ethnic rhythms, spacious melodies, and flowing
solos with the passion, intensity, romanticism, and introspection usually associated
with first-generation jazz-rock and world fusion artists.

\"Sphere Of Influence\" (14 tracks, 67:11) - Centered around the universal \"Union Of
Opposites\" concept, the compositions contain a dynamic balance of rhythm, melody,
and harmony by integrating ethnic sonorities into his jazz-rock fusion palette.
Merging diffractive musical arrangements with cohesive ensemble playing, dense
percussive layers with ethereal instrumental textures, this release is imbued with
both vibrancy and sensitivity, all spearheaded by his bass guitars.

\"Bhavachakra\" (22 tracks, 68:45) - Inspired by the Buddhist \"Wheel Of Life\", this
collection of ambient soundscapes, acoustic and electric textures with Asian and
Indian influences, and synthesized exotic atmospheres is meant to direct the
listener through all the guideposts of transmigratory existence, evoking myriad
memories and emotions along the way. (http://netdotmusic.com/Bhavachakra_info.htm)

\"Vedic Mantras\" (10 tracks, 64:57) - Traditional Vedic chanting is combined with
modern instrumentation and elements of jazz, rock, and European classical music in a
variant of East-meets-West fusion. Featuring the Taittiriya Upanishad, one of the
most important writings of ancient Indian philosophy, the arrangements were
carefully constructed to retain the devotional mood and integrity of the sacred
texts while creating a multi-genre sonic palette.
