Liner Notes by PEK
.
Mekaniks is collaboration featuring Leap of Faith Core members Yuri Zbitnov, and PEK and invited guests from the Evil Clown Roster. While sharing the same the improvisatory ethos as Leap of Faith and the other groups in the EC roster, Mekaniks distinguishes
itself by featuring cutting-edge looping, sampling and electronic processing as a centerpiece of their sound.
.
With a sound that hints at musique concrète, industrial, as well as the pioneering electronic experiments of Stockhausen, Xenakis, Henry, and Sun Ra, Mekaniks retains an identity all its own. Mekaniks is pushing the frontiers of electronic, psycho-sonic, transdimensional exploration.
.
This is a real milestone Evil Clown session... For the last several years we have been gradually introducing more and more electronic elements into our arsenal with several of the ensembles... This set features our special guest Joel Simches who runs the live to 2-track mix and performs lots of real time signal processing...
.
Evil Clown has been around since the 90s... so we were highly amused that Evil Clowns were so in the news in the fall of 2016 and occasionally continuing to the present... Yuri and I spent several months discussing a piece about the Klown Panik from Sparkles' point of view a created a work entitled The Great Klown Panik of 2016 along with several guests from the roster in December 2016...
.
A year later in January 2018 we recorded this follow up… Our special guests are Bob Moores on space trumpet & guitar, Greg Grinnell on samples, electronics & voice, and Joel Simches on signal processing and recording.
.
Here at Evil Clown we are generally interested in abstraction - what kind of sounds can we make / what kind of sonorities can we make and how do we transform/morph it... I think this is a first: An Evil Clown project that actually is about something!! I thank the Klown Panik for giving us a relevant subject matter for this series of improvisations......more
