Centered around the tireless work of multi-instrumentalist David Peck / PEK, the label encompasses a sprawling family of projects including Leap of Faith, Metal Chaos Ensemble, Turbulence, String Theory, Sub-Unit No. 1, PEK Solo, and many other shifting configurations, each built around deep listening, unusual instrumentation, and the excitement of music created in real time.</p> <p>Across more than 200 albums now on sale, Evil Clown brings together a core community of Boston-area improvisers with an increasingly remarkable cast of guest musicians, from adventurous local players to internationally recognized figures in free jazz, creative music, noise, electronics, contemporary improvisation, and experimental rock. The results range from intimate duos and focused small-group encounters to massive orchestral eruptions involving reeds, brass, strings, electronics, invented instruments, percussion, gongs, bells, objects, voices, and sounds that resist easy classification.</p> <p>For listeners drawn to exploratory, unpredictable, essential music, Evil Clown offers a vast and unruly catalog unlike anything else: ambitious, obsessive, sometimes overwhelming, often astonishing, and always committed to the outer edges of collective sound. For this special sale, more than 200 Evil Clown titles are available for just <b>$4.95 each</b>, reduced from <b>$12.95</b>.

in-house label created to support adventurous new recordings. We launched <a href="https://squidnote.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank"><b>Squid Note Records</b></a> to release music we believe in &mdash; directly, carefully, and fairly. But we didn't set out with a formal plan to start a label. Squid Note grew from conversations with artists who trusted us and asked for a way to release work that might not otherwise find its audience. </p> <p align="left"> So this isn't simply "our" label. It's something we are building together with the musicians themselves. The direction is shaped as much by the artists as by us &mdash; a collaborative effort grounded in mutual respect and shared commitment; each release is an equal partnership. </p> </div> </div> <hr class="divider"> <div class="section"> <div class="section-title">New Release: Ivo Perelman / Damon Smith: Duologue 6: Core of Existence</div> <table role="presentation" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td width="50%" valign="top" align="center" style="padding-right:12px;"> <a href="https://www.squidco.com/r.cgi?p=37498" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.teuthida.com/productImages/full/37498.Full.jpg" alt="Ivo Perelman / Damon Smith: Duologue: Core of Existence" style="width:50%;
