2019 was a huge year for Evil Clown. There was a single performance of a graphic score by the Leap of Faith Orchestra, The Photon Epoch, at the best room we have ever had, Pickman Hall at the Longy School of Music. This is a state of the art venue with an amazing room sound and a large stage. Pianist Peter Cassino who played with Glynis quite a bit and was the pianist on the first Score The Expanding Universe, was a faculty chair and was able to give us one of his yearly performances in the space.
The final 3 performances of Leap of Faith Orchestra & Sub-Units took place at Third Life. Susan’s lease was up and due to the gentrification in Union Square her rent was going to increase so much she couldn’t keep the room. At the end of the run I compiled all of the performances into a massive 25 CD box set called The Complete Leap of Faith Orchestra & Sub-Units Performances at Third Life Studios (2017-2019).
Yuri and I were invited to a rock show at a nice venue in Delaware. We decided to bring a Power Trio Edition of Metal Chaos Ensemble which we thought would appeal the the Grateful Dead oriented rock audience that would be there (Basilisk). Albey was going to be the bass player, but he and Jane moved to New Orleans and we replaced him with Mike Gruen who played electric bass with a much more rock leaning style.
Mike turned out to be a great fit and Metal Chaos Ensemble started regularly performing more groove oriented sets that included Narration drawn from movie and literature starting with Proteus 4. We settled on a sextet lineup that has remained pretty consistent to the present.
Evil Clown regular trumpeter Eric Dahlman, introduced me to Michael Knoblach, a percussion player who plays lots of very unusual objects along with some traditional hand percussion from a seated position on the floor. We did a Evil Clown Headquarters set (Main Sequence) as Sub-Unit No. 1 which is the band name I use when the unit does not fit neatly into the aesthetic definition of one of the regular Evil Clown Ensembles. Since this was a big success, we formed a new unit called Expanse build around this duet.
We had a dozen shows at Outpost 186 and a bunch of sets at Evil Clown Headquarters with the active ensembles: Leap of Faith, Metal Chaos Ensemble, Turbulence, String Theory, PEK Solo, and Sub-Unit No. 1.
