    Turbulence Doom Choir is a side project of Turbulence, the horn section of the Leap of Faith Orchestra... Originally I was going to name this project Turbulence Tuba Choir and the plan was to get 3 or 4 tubists... however, I never managed to get commitments from enough tuba players, so we hit with 2 tubas, trombone, my woodwinds and the brilliant percussion of Yuri! The band name Turbulence Doom Choir reflects the low pitched doom-ridden character of much of the sounds. The other main feature of TBC is electronics and signal processing... So sit back and enjoy the soothing dulcet tones of Turbulence Doom Choir!

    .
    One of the Boston area's incredible, eclectic collective organizations from David PEK's Evil Clown is Turbulence Doom Choir, a quintet with three brass players, drums, reeds, and a variety of percussive, wind instruments, game calls, &c., presenting large scale improvisations of uniquely evolving approaches, instrumentation, and heavy rhythms, a powerful brew.

    TURBULENCE DOOM CHOIR With PEK / KAT DOBBINS / ZACK GRASS / JOHN BAYLIES / YURI ZBITNOV - Energy Cascades (Evil Clown 9151; USA) This Leap of Faith offshoot features: Dave PEK on saxes, clarinets, double-reeds, etc., Kat Dobbins on trombone, Zack Grass on tubas, John Baylies on electric tuba & synth and Yuri Zbitnov on drums & metals. The cast of Boston-area based musicians for Leap of Faith and their numerous off-shoots, continues to grow as the many discs pile up. More than 100 CD’s at last count!?! There are a couple of newer names here which is great as Dave Pek keeps finding new musicians to collaborate with. This is a long (71 minute) set and it evolves, slowly, cautiously. Starting with the long, slightly ominous tones of the two tubas, trombone and percussion, slowly ascending until PEK enters on a serpent-like double reed or odd clarinet. The ever-amazing Yuri Zbitnov gets into a powerful, jazz/rocking groove midway, locking in and kicking the infectious groove higher and higher with the tuba(s) locking into that bassline. The one or two tubas and trombone work well together, combining forces and complimenting each other. Although this quintet was a one-off, it sounds as if the unit has been working together for many years. Mr. Zbitnov helps navigate the rhythm currents underneath while PEK takes his time to find the right reed to add his consistently engaging solos. Yet another winner from the vast Evil Clown catalogue. - Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG

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!
