Echo Echo on Myspace
December 13th, 2009
You must go and check out the Myspace page of Echo Echo, a brand new Toronto-based electro pop duet. I find this music very exciting. Perhaps I am partial: I make up one half of the band!
Yes, Echo Echo has been my secret creative project, along with the lovely and talented Andrea Caswell. I’m thrilled to share the music with you.
Andrea and I met years ago when we were both cast in a Queen’s Players production. We later teamed up to co-music direct our own Queen’s Players production. Our paths went in opposite directions after Queen’s. I toured, stayed a while in Montreal, then New Zealand before landing in Toronto. Andrea contacted me in New Zealand and asked me if I’d be interested in a collaboration.
Yes! It was perfect to have a creative project in the works before I even moved to TO.
We have been meeting regularly and writing/recording demo material here in Atlas Studio. Andrea is incredibly talented, and it is so much fun to record her. I really believe in the music we’re creating. We’re working away on our debut album, with a release ASAP 2010.
I’m VERY excited to get these tunes on stage. How? Well… That’s a beast yet to be tamed. Andrea will be playing keys and singing, of course. I’ll be playing my laptop, predominantly Ableton Live with a Launchpad. But there’s lots of room for more interactive programming with either MaxMSP or Reaktor. And I plan on keeping my acoustic guitar within reach. You know, in case we blow a fuse. (Or a laptop. Tfu tfu tfu!) I assure you, we are planning an exciting and risky live show. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I’m SO sick of watching bands that look BORED on stage. Bored of their own music! Quit wasting my time and money. If you aren’t kinetically ecstatic to share your music, get out of my way. And I promise, I will waste no one’s time with music that I am not on fire about.
