ECC/Bran Flakes on KALX and KPFA tonight!
Thursday, 08 July 2010 09:25
The ECC is back from our tour with The Bran Flakes -- thanks to all who came out to make some great shows!
But we're not finished yet: tonight we hit the airwaves for an East Bay radio double-header! Here's the details, gleefully swiped from Otis Fodder's site:
Thursday July 8th — ECC vs BRAN Death Match
7-9pm (Pacific), 10pm-Midnight (Eastern) on KALX 90.7 FM, Berkeley, California
The KALX Death Match 2010 is a one hour music face-off/smack-down featuring the mash-up mayhem of The Evolution Control Committee vs. cut-up confectioners The Bran Flakes, refereed by your Tumble Weed. And you, the listener, decides which of these artists dies. Are you ready to rumble?!
Thursday July 8th — Over The Edge
Midnight-3am (Pacific), 3am-6am (Eastern), 8am-11am (GMT) on KPFA 94.1 FM, Berkeley, California
Money Music – Mixing and creating music all about money with Don Joyce of Negativland, Otis Fodder of The Bran Flakes, TradeMark G. from The Evolution Control Committee, Wobbly (Jon Leidecker) and Phineas Narco of The National Cynical Network. The show starts at Midnight, the night of July 8th, 2010; which is technically July 9th 12am (PST). Running time is 3 hours.
Visit the facebook event page.
The KALX Death Match is a great concept; can't wait to see how it plays out for us. And of course Over The Edge is the legendary long-running radio show of Negativland and this collaboration should make for a great episode. Tune in!

HELP US SPREAD THE WORD! We had expected to get some promotion help on these tour dates in connection with the release of a new ECC album. When the album release got delayed, that also shot down our dreams of promo assistance. These are our first shows in years in these cities, and we're bringing the super-fun Wheel Of Mashup show with our amazing VidiMasher 3000! We want to share this amazing show & tech with everyone that would appreciate it -- Spread the word! Invite your friends! Share the Facebook events! SEE YOU THERE! |
Church bell composition playing throughout October
Tuesday, 16 October 2012 11:15
ECC music for church bells? Yes, it's true: TradeMark G.'s music is currently ringing throughout downtown Columbus from the bells of Trinity Episcopal Church across from the Ohio statehouse. As part of Finding Time: Columbus Public Art 2012 twelve composers were chosen to create music for the chimes of Trinity Church at Broad and Third. Each composer's work is played twice daily every day of their given month. TradeMark's piece plays through the end of October, building gradually each week to its full length heard for the last two weeks of the month. From Finding Time's Chime Compositions page:
The bells at Trinity Episcopal Church are played by hand by carillonneur Nick Tepe and—with the addition of new equipment a few years ago—can be programmed to ring mechanically. Twelve composers, ranging from contemporary masters to jazz musicians to writers of sacred and secular music, have been invited to create new pieces for the bells. Beginning with an inaugural performance of the first composition on January 1 and continuing with a new composition each month, these works will reinforce the overarching theme of time that weaves through all Finding Time projects. The use of church bells recalls their history as a mode of communication, while the compositions themselves are uniquely modern reflections of our time. Finding Time will conclude with the performance of the final composition in the series on December 31 at 11:59 p.m.
The current month's piece plays at 12:15 pm and 5:15 pm Monday through Friday and at noon Saturday and Sunday, followed by the previous three months' pieces in reverse chronological order (by month). Playing four compositions in a row produces 20 to 30 minutes of music.
We've got a special surprise in mind for a closing reception on October 27 -- STAY TUNED!
