Experiments

Here in the Experiments area you'll find all the brow-furrowing, chin-stroking activities that The ECC has been up to. Mischievous MP3s, vituperous videos, cued and ready for instant consumption and sardonic satisfaction.

Note the categories to the left. If you want only music, click MP3s. If you want only videos, there's that too. You can also peek into our Testing Area to hear beta tests and unfinished experiments that we're playing around with.  And if you're wondering just what the hell we were thinking when we made those experiments, you might find the answers in our blog.  Recent additions to all four categories are listed below.

Sound Of Plaid episode 2012.05.03: Special Guest: OTIS FODDER

In addition to his band The Bran Flakes (which toured with The Evolution Control Committee in 2010) Otis is the musical powerhouse associated with such projects as The 365 Days Project, Comfort Stand Recordings, Copyright Violation Squad, and much more.  In this episode we hear music of The Bran Flakes during the first hour followed by music released on Comfort Stand during the second hour, and end the show with tantilizing news of an official Raymond Scott remix project we're collaborating on!  Otis is a restless guy, not just musically but geographically: he's lived in Seattle, San Francisco, Reno, Toronto, Montreal, and will probably move soon to a city near you.

Sound Of Plaid episode 2012.04.26: Special Guest: GENIE CAN DO (Mary Jo Bole)

Mary Jo Bole on The Sound Of Plaid

Steppin' up for the ladies is artist Mary Jo Bole as Genie Can Do who proudly presents The Scary Mary Kay Show!  We've been anxiously anticipating this show for a while, and this week it finally comes to The Sound Of Plaid.  Far from just a show about the cosmetics mogul, the Scary Mary Kay Show will focus on music by women.  There was so much of it we couldn't quite pack it in -- meaning Scary Mary Kay Part 2 will no doubt be a future episode.
