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.
