about

Genre-bending jazz mixed with world music, odd meters, classical, and film score influence. Ranging from the tender to the fervorous. Intimate, emotional music.

Formed in April 2017, Bedlam & Eunoia draws on Michael Beling’s unique compositional style, jazz training, and ability to play pedal bass and piano simultaneously, paired with Eric LaPerna’s extensive knowledge of Middle Eastern percussion, and Barry Saunders' serious jazz and classical experience on clarinet and saxophone. The musicians demonstrate a highly symbiotic and sensitive rapport, and their history of playing together is readily apparent.
