Clinically speaking, Mark Applebaum does not suffer from any mental disorders. It's not for want of trying though! On this his 9th Innova release, he attempts to illustrate psychological disorders in sound. Asylum takes the form of a bipolar octet, an obsessive-compulsive trio, a narcoleptic quartet, an attention-deficit hyperactive quintet, a paranoid flutist, a catatonic horn player, an anti-social guitarist, a narcissistic contrabassist, a dependent violist and a Tourette's octet.

Nice Folks: The Invisible Ensemble, featuring the world-renowned Art Ensemble of Chicago percussionist Famoudou Don Moye, is a collection of original compositions by banjoist Paul Elwood. The compositions were influenced by jazz and by Mr. Elwood’s background as a banjoist in bluegrass and Appalachian music. The recording is punctuated by five short group improvisations. Mr. Elwood met Mr. Moye in Marseille, France in 2011 and quickly set about to muster seven young, virtuosic French musicians, the “Invisible Ensemble,” to record a number of his compositions with the AEC alumnus.
