    ----Liner Notes by PEK
    .
    I formed Turbulence in 2015 as I started to assemble players for the Leap of Faith Orchestra. Turbulence, the extended horn section for the Orchestra (along with guests on other instruments), also records and performs as an independent unit. As if this writing in March of 2018, we have had about 20 albums on Evil Clown with greatly varied ensembles. The only musician on all of them is myself. The sessions range from an early duet with Steve Norton and Myself (Vortex Generation Mechanisms) to a 5 horn band with bass and two percussionists (Encryption Schemes) to four albums by the side project Turbulence Doom Choir which feature myself, multiple tubas, percussion, electronics and signal processing.
    .
    Bob Moores (trumpet +) and Dan O’Brien (saxophones, clarinets & flutes) each joined the Evil Clown roster a while back and have played with Leap of Faith, Leap of Faith Orchestra, and other projects. For Amorphous Solids, I asked Yuri Zbitnov from the core Leap of Faith trio to join with us in the percussion chair and I brought as much percussion as we can fit into the small performance area at Outpost 186. All four of us make many instrument changes which naturally results in steady flow of transformations through highly varied sonorities

Turbulence is the horn players from the Leap of Faith Orchestra. We have performed a wide range of shows with ensembles ranging from duets to 8 or 9 players. Over half of our recordings are of ensembles comprised of horn players (many of whom play some of the Evil Clown percussion arsenal) but no drummer. Yuri, however, is on a number of the sets adding drum set to the horn band. We also had a special variation of this band, Turbulence Doom Choir, with PEK, Yuri and the tubas of Dave Harris and John Baylies and electronic signal processing until John split Boston for New York.

Here are some great links to Turbulence sets with Yuri at the drums!
