ThimbletronOhhhh, it has been a while.

For the Thimbletron, specifically.  We had intended to re-present it at the Inspiration Manifestation show a couple months ago, but... um, we couldn't find it.  Oh c'mon, give us a break -- we've relocated ECC operations back to Ohio from San Francisco, and almost all of the ECC studios is still in boxes until we get the studio rebuilt in another one to two weeks.

ThimbletronAnd frankly, although we've now located the Thimbletron... um... we're not positive it works.  Well, I suppose we've never been completely confident about the safety of thimbletronic radiation at public performances like this, but we always manage to make a show happen irregardless of public safety concerns.

Especially when it's another Frequency Friday from Fuse Factory.  They've been supporters of ECC enough to bring us from San Francisco to Columbus for shows, and now that we're local we're hungry for more.  Check out our company for this Friday's show:

February Frequency Fridays: Evolution Control Committee + Le Scrambled Debutante + Doctah X + Solumenata

Our February Frequency Fridays show features culture jammers/mashup band Evolution Control Committee (CMH), electronica-dub artist Doctah X (CMH), and sonic dadists Le Scrambled Debutante (Louisville, KY).

Stay tuned -- coming up, another Columbus Museum Of Art Game Show and other great projects to come.

Finding Time logo


The ECC's TradeMark G./Mark Gunderson will join 11 Columbus composers to create music to be played on the bells of Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Columbus Ohio.  The chime compositions are part of Finding Time: Columbus Public Art 2012:

Columbus Public Art 2012 will take place throughout the year in public spaces, plazas, parks, streets, and alleys in the downtown core and the riverfront. Planned in conjunction with 200Columbus the Bicentennial, FINDING TIME will transform downtown into an openair gallery with 14 temporary public art projects by more than 50 international, national, and local artists that will create memorable experiences for downtown workers, residents, and visitors.

The launch of the project is tomorrow:

Thursday, January 26
Noon to 1 p.m.
Trinity Episcopal Church
Broad and Third streets

Finding Time Project Director and Curator Malcolm Cochran will present an exciting overview of the 15 public art projects comprising works by more than 50 international, national, and local artists in downtown Columbus this year.  The brief program will conclude with the premiere live performance of "Double Century Doubles" by composer Sheena Phillips on Trinity's church bells.

ECC will be there; hope you can make it too.

The Real Congregation logoThe Real Congregation is a radio show on Nerdy Show Networks hosted by Marc With a C.  And the show loves, Loves, LOVES The ECC!  So much so that The ECC's All Rights Reserved album got picked as the show's Favorite Record of 2011 -- and -- the ECC song "Pertaining To The Beat" is now the show's new theme song!  Both those announcements can be heard in their 01/17/12 episode, part two of their 2011 countdown.  Thanks guys; we're flattered!  Enough so that we recently recorded an interview with them, slated to be part of their future 01/31/12 episode.
 

Kooba Radio logoAlso, thanks to all ECC fans who voted for us to be Kooba Radio Band Of The Year!  Voting is closed and Kooba has posted their countdown episode announcing the results.  Who won?  While The ECC didn't win (awww!) your votes pushed us up to finish in third place... a good show!  Considering the tough competition like chap-hop superstar Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer (who won the vote), taking #3 ain't so shabby.
