The Variants 2 EP is the second in a series of releases by Richard Barbieri that collects disparate pieces of music from past and current works that don't fit in with new album plans or concepts, but that Richard feels deserve to be heard.

Features performances from Luca Calbrese, Lisen Rylander Löve and Suzanne Barbieri, and contains two new studio works, two unique live improvisations and a live version of Hypnotek.
