The International Disassociation Of:

by Aaron Dooley

supported by

Weirdo Shrine mindbogglingly intricate, yet soothing, and danceable all at the same time. It is an album you can take a good while to fully wrap your head around, and it will still show you new angles from time to time. Favorite track: Passing Tres.

Centripetal Force and Island House Recordings are excited to announce their first label collaboration, the release of Aaron Dooley’s The International Disassociation Of:. The album will be available for preorder September 13th. The release date is October 6th. It will be available digitally, as well as on cassette and vinyl. Island House will be releasing the album on cassette, due in October. Centripetal Force is handling a limited run on vinyl, due in November.

Aaron Dooley is a Denver-based composer and musician whose main playing focus is on the bass. Always intrigued by the more ethereal and otherworldly fringes of the music world, Dooley has spent much of his time and efforts on the art of improvisation. His efforts have led him to working with a wide array of musicians, all of whom Dooley considers to be masters of their craft. The International Disassociation Of: includes longtime collaborator Aesop Adams on guitar, Gabriella Zelek on saxophone, Zuri Barnes on vocals and violin, Diego Lucero on drums, Gavin Susalski on trumpet, and the pedal steel sounds of Cooper Dickerson. It marks the second release with this lineup, the first being Dooley’s well-received live album, Lake of the Lost, from earlier this year.

Much like Dooley’s Trapped in Purgatory, released on Island House in 2022, The International Disassociation Of: sees Dooley place emphasis on free-flowing improvisation, allowing for the musicians to explore and play over the loose forms he lays out on bass. He guides and directs in real-time, as none of the artists heard any of his ideas before coming into the studio. The clear strength of the album is the spontaneous nature of the recording session. The musicians are in tune with mind, body, and soul, thus raising the performance level with each turn in the round. It’s a goal that Dooley strives to achieve each time he performs and directs. As he says, “One person generating ideas for others to generate a hundred better ones, ricocheting off one another and so-forth. The Miles Davis approach of always surrounding yourself with the best players, whose intuitions need only the slightest gust to make your own ideas soar.”

Highlights abound on the album, but there are certainly a couple of moments that deserve extra attention, as they feature instruments interacting in spaces outside of their traditional genres. This includes Zelek’s saxophone playing on the country/Americana rooted “Westbound Alameda” and Dickerson’s pedal steel on the more jazz dominated “Jamais Vu.” These moves not only represent how adept Dooley and friends are in holding space for one another, it is also reflective of the kind of inclusive conversations to which the musicians are committed, which truly is an artistic accomplishment of the highest order.

Now to spin this and take flight. As a former card carrying member of jamband scene this would have fit nicely back in the late 60's-70's and the late 90's-00's when improvisational jams were king.
