    -----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.
    .
    I recently ran across trumpeter Eric Dahlman who played with Leap of Faith bassist Craig Schildhauer in the 90s when Leap of Faith was first active. He came down for the last Leap of Faith Orchestra performance at Third Life Studios a few months ago. He plays with a bunch of different improvisers in the Boston area. I always love recruiting players with prior associations with other musicians, since when several people with long relationships join the project together, the ensembles benefit from their history.
    .
    Eric has a band and a long association with reedman Jim Warshauer. For Vorticity, I invited Eric and Jim to join myself and Yuri Zbitnov, the primary drummer/percussionists for the many Evil Clown ensembles. This was a great set, which leverages the skills two deeply connected duets. As usual, for sessions at Evil Clown Headquarters, we filled the room with as many percussion instruments as we could fit in the space.
    .
    All of the horn players used a variety of the available auxiliary instruments, changing instruments fairly frequently, naturally resulting in a steady stream of transformations through a wide variety of sonorities. Eric also has great skill in overtone singing, so I hooked him up with a mic that had delay and some other processing. Because the mic was hot to properly amplify his voice, the whole room picked up a bit of this wet sound through the duration of the work.
    .
    Another fabulous session from your pals at Evil Clown!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!
