ARISAWKADORIA Chapter One
A new dye has been cast. Arisawkadoria, the
newest discovery of groundbreaking label Wax Orchard –
and the torch bearers of Electronic Improv, have released
a debut album that at once exceeds its great expectation,
and even the sum of it’s parts.
Gentleman and Samurai, each man represents a
different force of nature. Featuring D n B icon Kevin ‘KJ’
Sawka on percussion, rising sun Ari Joshua Zucker on
guitar & effects, and the West Coast’s premier Jazz
Organist Joe Doria, Arisawkadoria ignites the upper
atmosphere in a breathtaking, mind altering, post
everything display of new school virtuosity & electronic
improv. Simply stated, Arisawkadoria is one of the
most exciting and visionary ensembles on this planet,
and probably the next.
AriSawkadoria’s debut Chapter One pushes all of
its envelopes wide open. The album unfolds through the
smoking lens of DnB atmospherics and a cool filter of
post jazz improvisation. From the timelessly warm, and
lushly analog path on the ready for radio, “Open Road,”
to the experimentation and technical virtuosity of tunes
like “Turtle Beats The Hare” the record creates a striking
journey. Chapter One is an instrumental voyage that
speaks a thousand words on why Arisawkadoria can be
so at home headlining a rock festival, a jazz club, and all
night underground party, in parts or in the eternity a
single evening. As Turtle revels in a league of
instrumental interplay that is unmatched in this century,
tracks like “After Death Part II” simmer like long
exposure photos of cars racing through a city at night.
Kevin 'KJ' Sawka, like a glitch in the matrix, every one of his performances and recordings,
shatter the illusion of mankind's limitations behind a drum kit.
Joe Doria, is,the baddest B-3 play left of the Mississippi , and one of the last great ones standing. As if
he had anything left to prove, his presence in ASD - illuminates his instruments brightest possible future.
Ari 'Joshua' Zucker, the young lion, born in South Africa , is not even of this world. His compositions &
improvisations of Tomorrow, are a nonpareil blend of technology & technique. His visions are in surround
sound and come on like the cure to dreams unfulfilled, by engineers and music lovers alike.
