Sound of Plaid & ECC on sabbatical
Wednesday, 29 October 2014 05:31
There will be a brief pause...
...mainly to allow TradeMark G. to finish getting his masters degree in Art & Technology, but also to allow Frilly and TradeMark to brainstorm some new directions for The Sound Of Plaid. The last 4-5 years have produced over 200 great radio shows with a wide variety of themes and guests, and we want to come up with some fresh concepts to liven things up even more. Expect our broadcasts to resume very late 2014 or early 2015.
Similarly, The Evolution Control Committee's live shows, music, and website need a little freshening up, all of which will have to wait until that almighty thesis is finished in Spring 2015. It should produce some new concepts and foster some... um... evolution.
Stay tuned.
ECC @ IngenuityFest 2013 (Cleveland)
Monday, 16 September 2013 11:50
The Ingenuity Festival Cleveland returns
...and so does The ECC
The Evolution Control Committee has had great times performing at Cleveland's great IngenuityFest art & technology festival in the past (2008, 2009, 2011...) so when their call for artists came out for this year's event we applied, but then wondered -- what haven't we done already?
They've invited us so often before that we've performed every kind of show we've ever made (except for our radio show... hmmm) and we'd rather not repeat ourselves. Then we remembered our great time earlier this year at Columbus Museum of Art's Connector Series, letting anybody and everybody come up to play with our custom-built music controllers, devices, and toys... ahhhh, good times. Yes! That's it!
So this coming weekend The ECC hauls up a full load of tech magic for you, yes YOU, to play with. Ever wanted to try your hand at our amazing VidiMasher 3000 (from our The Wheel Of Mashup shows)? Or the Thimbletron? The Object Turntable? Come to Cleveland and play with these and more!
WHAT: IngenuityFest 2013 Art & Technology Festival
WHEN: This weekend, Saturday and Sunday (we are unlikely to make Friday)
:: Saturday, September 21 - Noon to Midnight (or as long as we can last)
:::: Sunday, September 22 - Noon to 6pm
WHERE: Lakefront Docks 30 & 32 (near Browns Stadium), Cleveland Ohio (map)
TICKETS: FREE!
LA Weekly show review
Wednesday, 18 May 2011 11:46
Our recent LA show at the Echoplex with Mutaytor earned a kind review in the LA Weekly blogs. We were just talking about how the LA show's turnout was a bit disappointing and were wondering whether we really made an impact... it's really gratifying to read this review and know that we actually did. Many thanks to the author of the review, L. J. Williamson!
Live Review: Evolution Control Committee at Echoplex

WHO: Evolution Control Committee If there was any justice in this world, evolution would never be dismissed by a large portion of the population as "just a theory," and Evolution Control Committee would be more popular than god.

Enoch Light Birthday Memorial Go-Go Happening (Cleveland 2014.08.17)
Monday, 11 August 2014 12:27
** Big show coming up in Cleveland! ** Tickets on sale now **
Back in the 90's ECC spin-off The Weird Love Makers participated in a few of these events. Now, after more than a decade off, it's back in a BIG way -- with many other bands creating custom-made performances to celebrate Enoch Light's legacy in lounge, plus go-go dancers, live VJing, video installations, and more! The ECC will not only bring an Enoch-friendly Wheel Of Mashup to the show but also custom-made Kinect-based video installations where YOU get to be the dots in album covers like the ones above.
This is a rare ECC live gig not to mention a one-of-a-kind show all around! DON'T MISS IT!
From the Facebook event page:
A phantasmagoric dance party/revue of sight/sound/live performance, celebrating the 8/18/1905 Canton, Ohio birth of Enoch Light, the legendary Project3/Command Records kingpin!
By semi-popular demand, the 1990s phenomenon known as the ENOCH LIGHT BIRTHDAY MEMORIAL GO-GO HAPPENING returns to NE Ohio...ludicrously larger than all of the previous events combined.
Yes, this is actually HAPPENING on the Beachland Ballroom main stage:
• New live analogue/modular synth arrangements of Dick Hyman’s electronic compositions, provocatively played by JON SONNENBERG AND THE HYMAN LEAGUE!
• Live vocal group performances atop iconic instrumental Project3/ Command recordings, sophisticatedly sung by THE FOUR CHANNELS!
• Enochian mashups and musical media mayhem maniacally manipulated by TRADEMARK G AND THE EVOLUTION CONTROL COMMITTEE!
• Groovy moves, daringly danced by AVA ADORE, DOT KING, AND TALLULAH MOONSHINE!
• Puppets and perplexities, pertinently performed by ZACHARIAH DURR!
• Jockeyed high-fidelity discs and mod visual atmospherics, enigmatically eminated by VJ VENDETTA, JEFF CHENAULT, AND TOTHAR!
• ...AND MORE! Let the Light turn you on!
ECC Church Bell mashup live - last chance show!
Wednesday, 05 June 2013 09:02
Last year The ECC's TradeMark G. created a composition for church bells which played throughout October 2012, climaxing in a Church Bell Flash Mob that added a beat-matched electronic track DJ'd live from the street below... unique, to say the least. That was part of the great Finding Time: Columbus Public Art 2012 project which included different bell compositions every month during 2012.
This Sunday there will be a concert of the six pieces from the last half of the year, featuring compositions by Derek DiCenzo, Brian Harnetty, Bobby Floyd and others. For ours we'll be restaging the electronic component as we did in October, a live duet of electronics on the street with the bells in the tower. If you missed it at the flash mob, here's one last chance! Don't worry about costumes; just come, listen, and enjoy.
WHEN: This Sunday 2013.06.09 / 12:15pm
WHERE: Trinity Episcopal Church / corner of Broad & 3rd Streets / Columbus, OH
HOW MUCH: Free!
