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.

The Sound Of Plaid episode 2014.07.21: Experimental Unplugged
Before electronics made it easy, musicians had to get weird the hard way. In this episode we explore unusual and influential music that pushed the boundaries of composition and instrumentation. From prepared piano to sound sculpture, from Moondog to Weddell seals, these are the strange sounds of an analog world.

A most confusing quote from Groucho Marx
Thursday, 04 June 2009 16:30
We're always scouring records and media, harvesting the occasional tasty morsel of audio for the enjoyment of all. And today we found this confounding quote from Groucho Marx, which presumably is meant to be more innocent than one might guess:
"...and finally he died. And he left a will. And his will consisted of a celluloid dicky... an eight ball, and three razor blades. And besides, he owed my father eighty-five dollars, which he never did get from him."
