Sparkles, the Giant Evil Clown, presents Turbulence Orchestra & Sub Units – Tempestuous Hubbub. Led by multi-instrumentalist Dave Peck, The Turbulence Orchestra is a large format improvisation ensemble that includes of six or more horn players and a rhythm section. For this performance we will play four 15-minute improvisations each with a quarter of the total ensemble, take a short break and then perform an hour-long improvisation with all the musicians.
Evil Clown’s projects have been focused on the very interesting and difficult aesthetic problem of large ensemble free improvisation. Free improvisation is typically performed by smaller ensembles (duos to quartets). Larger ensemble size combined with a broad-palette approach where most of the players play many different instruments allow us to construct a journey through a series of highly varied sonorities of the duration of the work. This ensemble features seasoned improvisors from the Evil Clown Roster who are all very experienced at large ensemble broad palette free improvisation.
