Praxis is the name of an ever-changing Bill Laswell musical project. First appearing in 1992 with the critically successful Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis), the project has attempted to push the envelope of structure and progressiveness on a number of musical forms not normally amenable to the avant-garde concept.

Between the influence of Laswell and Zorn, Praxis's musical experimentation has ranged from (and in some sense, invented) diverse, eclectic, and freeform genres including avant-garde thrash metal, minimalist IDM, agitated breakbeat, freak-funk, spaced-out cafe rock, and metal-electronica fusion.
