Soundasaurus Festival in Calgary, Alberta
Monday, 08 November 2010 10:57
Just a week after we return from our Warsaw residency in January we'll head north to Calgary, Alberta (Canada) for the Soundasaurus Festival! Best of all, it will be our rare Nosferatu soundtrack show (aka Reels Of Steel) which we've done just once in the last six years.
Soundasaurus - Evolution Control CommitteeJanuary 20, 2011EPCOR CENTRE's Soundasaurus Festival presents Evolution Control Committee: Reels of Steel and guestsThursday, January 20, 2011 at EPCOR CENTRE's Engineered Air Theatre Doors open 6:30pm | Show starts 7:30pm Evolution Control Committee What happens when you make a movie soundtrack using only soundtrack albums of other movies? The Evolution Control Committee composes a score to the silent horror classic Nosferatu resulting in a fun collage of familiar tunes, DJ’d live. In Reels of Steel a tightly-composed soundtrack is spontaneously created using only vinyl records, pushing the limitations of copyright. Followed by a Q&A with the artists. Guest: Ivan Reese Mary Everest Boole is a narrative performance of stochastic musical cybernetics featuring a unique software program which allows a computer to listen to its environment for sounds and resynthesizes them into musical phrases. Festival installations by: Luba Diduch I saw you drown...in the Sargasso Sea, is an installation piece employing a microphone and sound booth where environmental sounds and vibrations are recorded and remixed with underwater recordings. Dr. Thomas Lawrence Three Songs of a Green Eucharist is a soundscape based on spiritual music compositions recorded over three years. |

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! |
