Medeski, Marsella, Hollenberg, and Grohowski are Chaos Magick—a powerful
electric quartet formed to perform Zorn’s twisted and challenging compositions.
Founded in 2021 as a spinoff of the heavy metal organ trio Simulacrum, they have
released no less than five CDS in three years—Chaos Magick, The Ninth Circle,
Multiplicities, 444, and Parrhesiastes. Their sixth, Through the Looking Glass, presents
three extended works that unfold like a philosophical treatise. Sweet, funky, soulful,
imaginative, quirky, and intensely stimulating, this is music that pushes formal
musical ideas into fresh new directions. The phrase “Nothing is real—everything is
permitted” has never had greater meaning.
