Etc :: Trans*end

A recent solo improvisation on the Etc oldie called 'Trans*end' has been put online here (at Soundcloud - http://soundcloud.com/abcdetc/etc-trans-end-707). Includes primitive loops + some e-bow.  

Happy Hari Raya from Etc.

It's the end of the Muslim fasting month, and that means it's the Hari Raya holiday in places like Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia (places across which Etc's band-folk are currently scattered)  – and that's a good enough excuse for put a verité recording of an Etc concert for your listening (and downloading) pleasure here. The set was definitely recorded in 2010, possibly in April. And on a Friday, in sweltering heat. 

The songs played: 

Malaysian Trucks 

Astrogal 

Dumb Waiter 

Bungalow 

Love Is No Alibi

 Pretty Fall 

Big Girl's Blouse 

Adolesce 

Handphones on 

the Dancefloor 

Peter Panic

Thanks for having us. And Selemat Hari Raya to all!

The Etc trio haven't been same-place/same-time for quite a while, so they could be rusty. Hopefully still trusty...

Etc invites you to a Guilty Party

Been adding Etc recordings to this Etc page here.

Today: 'Guilty Party' - done semi-acoustic sometime last year. 

You might also be able to see it on the very page you're looking at now. 

Be well. 

Etc :: Undrummed

Etc's latest recording adventures didn't get too far last weekend. Drummer Harvey was briefly in town and all was set for a marathon session of drum track recording. But just before tape was set to roll, the call came in: the studio's microphones had mysteriously disappeared overnight. As a souvenir, we've added some drumless recordings of some of Etc's most-requested songs to the Etc Reverbnation for your listening and free-downloading pleasure. They're labeled as "semi-acoustic" versions of "Bungalow", "Malaysian Trucks" and "Dancing to The Smiths" in the players below or to the side of this page. Enjoy.
