About

On Leap of Faith: "Alien yet familiar, bizarre yet completely fascinating. Expanding, contracting, erupting, settling down, always as one force..." - Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG

On Metal Chaos Ensemble: "... using unique strategies to yield densely active and eerily surreal music, an incredible excursion through experimental improvisation." - Squidco website staff

Documenting the Music of Leap of Faith and Members

Leap of Faith is a pure improvisation ensemble collaboration between PEK (clarinets, saxophones and double reeds) and GLynis Lomon (cello, aquasonic and voice). We were very active in the Boston improvisation/new music scene throughout the 90s and early 00s in several incarnations featuring Mark McGrain (trombone), Yedidyah Syd Smart (drums), Craig Schildhauer (bass), Yuri Zbitnov (drums, percussion) and James Coleman (Theremin) .

We enjoyed performing with many guests including David Maxwell (piano), Curt Newton (drums), Leslie Ross (bassoon), Raqib Hassan (clarinets, saxophones and double reeds), B'hob Rainey (soprano sax), Eric Rosenthal (drums), Forrest Larsen (viala), Rob Bethel (cello), Laurence Cook (drums), Eric Zinman (piano),
Tatsuya Nakatani (percussion), Seth Louis (bass), Guadulesa (painting), Adrienne T Hawkins (dance), Martha Ritchey (Fractal graphic scoring), Taylor Ho Bynum (trumpet), and Richard Poole (vibes).

Reformed in 2015, the current Leap of Faith includes PEK, GLynis and Yuri and welcomes new member Steve Norton on clarinets and saxophones.

Evil Clown features recordings of Leap of Faith and other bands of members of Leap of Faith.
