1. An asymmetrical rotation mixer for mixing materials, the asymmetrical rotation mixer comprising:
(a) a rotational mount for receiving a container housing one or more materials for rotational mixing, the rotational mount having a primary vertical rotational axis and a secondary rotational axis wherein the secondary rotational axis is arranged at an angle a from horizontal and offset from the primary vertical axis;
(b) a servo motor for providing rotational drive to the rotational mount, the servo motor including a servo motor control system for maintaining angular position control of an output shaft engaged to drive rotation of the rotational mount and maintaining positional control of the rotational mount through the action of the servo motor; and
(c) a mixer control system including a user interface for receiving input of a mixing profile, wherein the mixer control system provides indication of the mixing profile to the servo motor for execution.
