Orbis Terrarum is a complex piece of music. Folks who like pop and bubblegum rock may not understand it because Foti writes and performs music for the thinking man, and he does it very well. He's an accomplished bass player who also handles keyboards, loops, sampling, producing, arranging, engineering, mixing and mastering with skillful precision. Foti has taken a lifetime of musical influences and transformed them into these fourteen compositions. He leaves no stone unturned as he touches down on everything from progressive to classical and funk to fusion. Each song is masterfully created and performed while guest players Dave Kulju on electric guitar and Chris Rossi on piano help Foti realize his musical dream. In a world of homogenized rock, Gino Foti is a musical breath of fresh air.
