...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI...

Doctor Nerve is a rock band that has been annihilating the boundaries between rock, metal, improvisation, jazz, and experimental music since 1983. Eriea, recorded with The Sirius String Quartet was the group's fifth studio album.

A large work in three movements that spans intimate composition for solo viola, tightly reigned composition for full ensemble, explosive conducted improvisation of orchestral scope, and incendiary solos over rock grooves. It includes a no-holds-barred live performance of the second movement, recorded at Ereia’s premiere at the FIMAV ’97 Festival.

"Four years of hard labor & 14 musicians with a commitment to total annihilation; painstaking compositions & apocalyptic deconstructions burned into a single laser-guided CD projectile."
-Nick Didkovsky

"Using deconstructed phrasing, computer-generated scores, and intuitive improvisation techniques, the Nerve is one of the most fluent ensembles currently nestled in the Big Apple.
...Ereia is a long form, commissioned work featuring the Sirius String Quartet (joining Doctor Nerve). Divided into three distinct movements (including an incendiary, 20 minute in-concert portion), [leader, guitarist Nick Didkovsky] mixes searing Stravinsky-like chording with inexplicable avant-rock moves.
With its abundance of classical discipline (though hardly letting the ink dry on the scores), cyber treatments and free skronk execution, Ereia is the first major work of 2K, poised to be measured against by composers and musicians of the future. Exceptional."

Founded in 1984 by guitarist/composer Nick Didkovsky, New York City based Doctor Nerve has been terrorizing audiences in the US and abroad with its distinctive blend of avant-garde classical, progressive-rock and modern jazz. On Ereia, the septet along with the Sirius String Quartet to perform a series of works that entails three movements recorded live and in the studio.

Didkovsky's compositional ideologies and/or implementations often defy categorization. The first movement sounds like some bizarre spin on a Country and Western hoe-down, featuring clapping and peppery strings amid a sense of adrenaline induced urgency. Jaunty titles such as "She Look He Spit," "Flesh Comes Out" and "The Thorn Piercing His Coat" might seem a bit morose by design, yet the band and Sirius String Quartet alternate and converge via razor sharp choruses and scathingly emotive motifs.
Throughout, the music contains unorthodox time signatures, incidents of semi-controlled mayhem, boisterous yet shrewdly performed horn charts and sterling improvisational sequences. The twenty-minute second movement, "For Being Nice To The Wrong People," is a live 1997 performance that boasts abstract military march beats, punctual arrangements and heated soloing from trumpeter Rob Henke, woodwind specialist Yves Duboin and others. The third movement possesses multi-layered horn charts, crashing percussion and hybrid classical/prog-rock lines engulfed within intricate patterns that dispel raw energy yet tight and well-organized arrangements. (Didkovsky scored some of these pieces via computer generated software.)

Ereia is delightfully unruly and at times ominous, yet Didkovsky's extremely complex writing and the musicians' synergistic involvement conveys a lucid depiction of the visual, as though they had embarked on some hallucinatory or previously unimaginable adventure.
