Zony Mash + Wayne Horvitz's Electric Circus

Originally the Tuesday night house band at the OK Hotel, Zony Mash spent much of the ’90s and early aughts recording and touring the world. Created with the instrumentation of The Meters, Zony Mash starts where they left off.

Electric Circus is a large, mostly electric ensemble that remixes classic soul, funk, and rock for the 21st century. Composer Wayne Horvitz uses “conduction” – in the tradition of Lawrence “Butch” Morris – utilizing brief riffs, motifs, and grooves culled from classic recordings by James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, Willie Dixon, Los Lobos, Captain Beefheart, Electric Miles Davis, The Grateful Dead, The Pointer Sisters, Sun Ra, The Bangles, The Clash, The Allman Brothers, Parliament-Funkadelic, and many, many more.

“Wayne Horvitz’s music remains multifaceted and transportable, from the hinterlands of avant classical to down-home folksy charm, from small group getups to large-ensemble blowouts.”
