The Sound Of Plaid episode 2013.01.21:  Listener Requests VI

For tomorrow's episode of The Sound Of Plaid we want to hear from you!  As before, we're doing listener requests with a twist -- two simple rules:

1. Vague concepts only -- do NOT request specific songs...
2. ...unless you have a song to fill someone else's request.

Previous requests included Cobblestones, jail shower memories, "Perpetual Pastry", and Schizothemia... what's yours?  Make your request on our Facebook page and tune in tomorrow at noon EST on DFM!

VidiMasher set at Przetwory (Recycles) 5

Concert and Performance Dates

Monday, 06 December 2010 08:53

Poland may not be the first country you'd imagine to be green (in the recycling sense of the word), but this weekend marks the 5th year of their international Przetwory (Recycles) Festival.  Artists will spend a few days remaking unwanted materials into amazing works of art and design, to be judged by an international jury of fine arts movers & shakers.  Hosted in a giant warehouse in the Praga district of Warsaw, the event will draw an audience of thousands.

The ECC will represent at this Maker-Faire-style event with the VidiMasher 3000, using it to create something more than a DJ set, but short of a full performance.  This is your best chance in Warsaw to see what an ECC show is like!

The Sound Of Plaid episode 2012.12.31:  BEST OF 2012

The Sound Of Plaid looks back to our best moments of 2012!  Year-end clip shows are almost as predictable as the end of the year itself, but after years of broadcasting this is our first.  And what a good year for it, with guests like Ruckus Roboticus, Moldover, Otis Fodder, Ocean Ghosts, Mary Jo Bole, Kumquat, Lady Monster... add our inventive show themes like Listener Requests and there's too many great bits than we can pack into a two hour show!  Thanks to all our guests and especially to our devoted listeners!

ECC RadioLab @ Open Studios/Studio Otwarte (Warsaw)

Concert and Performance Dates

Thursday, 25 November 2010 12:45

As you probably know The ECC is currently enjoying time abroad living and working in Warsaw, Poland as part of the artists-in-residence program at the Centrum Sztuki Wspólczesnej (aka the Center for Contemporary Art) in Ujazdowski Castle.  And being one of the eleven artists who are currently working here, we are participating in the upcoming open studio exhibition. So if you are located here in Warsaw, we invite you to join us LIVE at the Castle to experience our ECC RadioLab in person. Since this is an open studio, not only will you have the opportunity to observe and chat with the ECC doing a live radio experiment, you’ll also have the opportunity to meet and witness all of the other artists who are working here in a myriad of different mediums from sound to film to dance to live sculpture.

But even if you aren’t able to come to the Castle, you can still experience the open studio live by tuning in to our radio broadcast stream which will air on multiple stations during the entire 3-hour long event. Live event too early for your time zone? Don’t fret because we will be airing highlights and exclusive segments from the show on the next episode of The Sound of Plaid -- tune in as you normally would, or via podcast, or download from The Sound Of Plaid Archives.
