Artist History Pneuma... lay dormant in the back of the mind of the Trimorphic Protennoia until early 1999 AD, when it was brought forth out of formless chaos. Live, Pneuma... presently consists of one man and a fretless 6-to-11 string modified guitar (Glowworm), an effects array, alchemical implements of creation, and a warped vision. He is joined by the only soul brave enough to harnass the rhythms of this vision (a drummer). In the lab (Pet Wubs, Inc.), anything can happen.....................
