Transmutation Live is a live album compiled from a live Praxis performance in Zurich, Switzerland, in the summer of 1996. Transmutation Live features an incarnation of Bill Laswell's free jazz/rock/hip-hop collective. Frequent compatriots Buckethead and Bryan "Brain" Mantia assist on guitar and drums, respectively.
In this album, Buckethead leaves an impression throughout the 60 minutes of this disc because of his abilities when he plays the guitar. DXT adds synthesizer and turntables, where he is aided by the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, the Bay-Area collective of Q-Bert, Mixmaster Mike, Shortkut, and Disk.
The four tracks on Transmutation Live are labeled simply as four movements. The albums contains almost-ambient sound sculptures, giving way to metal-stomp grooves.
