Drawing musicians from across the Northeast, the 30-member Turbulence Orchestra and Sub-Units — directed by PEK — convenes for a sprawling 2-disc session of conducted large-ensemble free improv, first presenting six compact sub-unit improvisations before merging into a sweeping hour-long orchestral performance of shifting instrumentations, graphic cues, and evolving textures.

A massive 22-member improvising ensemble, the Turbulence Orchestra and Sub-Units are heard live in Vermont, with five dynamic sub-unit performances and a full-orchestra hour-long guided improvisation, blending structured conduction, graphic notation techniques, and a chaotic palette of woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion and even rubber chickens in an intense and unpredictable sonic experience.
