Dawn of Midi

Listenable and insane. That’s the sound Dawn of Midi spent years shaping, culminating in their most mesmerizing work yet: Dysnomia.

In many ways, it’s the first record that truly reflects the trio’s critically acclaimed live show, a test of endurance and trust that involves bassist Aakaash Israni, pianist Amino Belyamani and percussionist Qasim Naqvi performing their compositions note-for-note without ever appearing the least bit predictable. If anything, Dawn of Midi’s sets are as red-blooded and rhythmic as a seamlessly mixed DJ set, casting spells on crowds in the same way the group’s favorite experimental and electronic acts have for decades.

KALI Trio: The Playful Abstract

Read "The Playful Abstract" reviewed by David Bruggink

For example, Blaer leans towards the more restrained, stately and steady, building to powerful catharsis, similar to the Colin Vallon Trio; ...

Dawn of Midi: Dysnomia

Read "Dysnomia" reviewed by Enrico Bettinello


Clinicamente, la Dysnomia è una sindrome afasica per cui non si riescono a ricordare parole o nomi. Non è difficile credere di esserne affetti quando si tenta di trovare qualche esperienza musicale affine a questo progetto dei Dawn of Midi, e questo è già un ottimo risultato! Perché è un piano ...

Dawn of Midi: Dysnomia

Read "Dysnomia" reviewed by Mark F. Turner


The script gets flipped in Dysnomia, where calculated syncopations are not generated from laptops or patched-in devices but produced by the post-minimalist acoustic trio Dawn of Midi, paying homage to electronica with 46 minutes of methodically composed music. But then again what is music? As defined by Merriam-Webster: it is a science or art of ordering ...
