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.

Fool On The Hill - Major/Minor Swap
Monday, 01 April 2013 13:08
Often songs will use a minor key for verses to build tension, which is then resolved by a happier-sounding major key for the chorus.
The Beatles' Fool On The Hill does the opposite.
No matter. We've corrected it.
