Eris 136199

“Kaleidoscopic, thuggish, optical retina-effect astringent free jazz….” — Paul Khimasia Morgan (The Sound Projector)

“In a field of experimentation and free music, Eris 136199 stands as singular.” — John Pietaro (The New York City Jazz Record)

“Exquisitely constructed, spontaneously messed-up, endless depth, kind of like letting an insane brain surgeon in through your ear.” — Dave Foxall (a Jazz Noise, Best of 2018)

Formed in New York in 2012, Eris 136199 is the quick-reacting cyborg virtuosity of Han-earl Park (Sirene 1009), the mighty melodic imagination and big tenor sound of Catherine Sikora (Clockwork Mercury), and the diamond-cut precision and grind-meets-experimentalism of Nick Didkovsky (Doctor Nerve). Recorded during the 2017 European tour, Eris 136199’s eponymous album is the trio’s followup to their debut recording Anomic Aphasia (SLAMCD 559, 2015) which was described as “a beautiful noise” (KFJC 89.7 FM) and “atmospheric as to become almost frightening” (The New York City Jazz Record).
