Dawn of Midi is an American acoustic ensemble from Brooklyn. The group is composed of bassist Aakaash Israni, pianist Amino Belyamani anddrummer Qasim Naqvi. The group formed in 2007 in Los Angeles.Though they consist of the same instrumentation used in traditional jazz piano trios, they “torture their instruments by playing as few notes ashumanly possible. They write barely-there melodies that chase their own tails. They establish mercurial rhythms that are confusingly simple —sessionplaying a Steve Reich composition, though even closer to something totally unprecedented”.
