Interview on Night Air (Sydney, Australia)
Friday, 09 October 2009 12:36
Following our Sydney, Australia appearance at the Liquid Architecture festival we met up Brent Clough, host of the Australian Broadcasting Company radio show Night Air for lengthy and enjoyable interview and on-air performance. The distilled version is now about to hit the airwaves, part 1 of a show pairing The ECC with part 2, Bob Dylan... an unexpected pairing, but we take it as a quite the compliment.

ECC and the full Bob
Copyright-fighters the Evolution Control Committee mash up pop music and free-wheelin' Bob Dylan wanders through his many incarnations ...
Part 1: The Evolution Control Committee under the leadership of Trademark G. (aka Mark Gunderson) has been challenging copyright laws since 1986, risking millions in copyright violation fines for what the ECC calls 'music'. The ECC is credited with the creation of the Mash Up or Bastard Pop genre of blended pop songs, a style popular with young listeners today. In this session TradeMark G talks about the ECC's work and demonstrates one of its recent products, the VidiMasher 3000.

Although non-Australians like us can listen online, we're at a disadvantage on its air time: 8:30pm Sunday evening, which would be 2:30am early Sunday morning for us in California. Fortunately you'll be able to listen to the show on their webpage which also includes transcripts of the show, or just listen now below.
