Mayhem
Circus Electric
Lubricity
Avant
Groove
--- Jazz!
Mayhem Circus Electric is a
raucous improv band that makes excitement
out of thin air and develops written themes
with a singular purpose. And just a
hint of electric Miles Davis.
Lubricity captures the spirit of Mayhem
Circus Electric in mid-flight with sonic
celebrations of solid rhythmic invention
underneath spiraling themes and
counter-themes. Metallic
percussive fury complements exploratory bass
clarinet. Oh Yeah!
MCE takes chances in an
aggressive musical exploration, but always
gives you something to hold onto.
Sometimes a theme, sometimes just a strand
of tonality, always interesting
rhythms. Just when it seems like
things might get all abstract on you, the
band takes you to a higher level of avant
groove.
Mayhem Circus Electric exploded out
of the ever-expanding New Haven Improvisers
Collective.
NHIC is a far-reaching collective of
creative musicians forming into a particular
group to play particular music in a
particular moment. NHIC is
interaction, conflict, and harmony.
