Several weeks ago my sister, Nichole, came down for a weekend visit and we decided to make some musique concrète.
We walked around West Lafayette and Lafayette, recorded sounds, talked, and then went into the studio to sample our discoveries.
The result was our collaborative album: Kankakee, Mississippi, Wabash: the Other Side of the River (a journey).
Kankakee
01 – Motherland (within means)
02 – tread on air
03 – abrupt injunction
04 – set the teeth on edge
05 – Valkyrie (an interlude)
06 – invulnerable (a demonstration)
07 – …and the rest
Mississippi
01 – Shells, Shillings, and Spacecraft
02 – Murmured Performance
03 – A Builder’s Toil
04 – Joyous Parted Mastheads
05 – Bus Stop Scandal
06 – Observed Provisions
07 – The Fallow Rink

The Media Collective recently had the pleasure of attending the Ye Olde Drunkards Medieval Spelling Bee on March 26th, 2011. The event was held at the Black Sparrow Pub, the ashiest bar floor in town™.
We recorded some of the noises, interviewed the spelling keeper (Kate), runner-up, the queen bee speller, and bore witness to a birthday speech. All of which is contained in the audio below.
We asked one of our friends to call 312-DRY-TOFU while they were out on their spring break road trip to Florida. The result is the trove of audio below. We have tales of travel, pubs, alcohol, racism, limos, beaches, purses, and much, much more.
If you have anything you would like to contribute over the phone, please call 312-DRY-TOFU and leave your contribution at the beep!
Several weeks back we had the great pleasure of hanging out with some friends, making some noise on an old organ, and playing various drawing games. That same night, we recorded a nice jam in the basement by setting our Olympus DM-520 on a chair and stepping away.
The Media Collective is proud to present the resulting audio titled, One Chair Short, to Spite.
Another glorious and strange evening of E3 performances occurred on March 11th, 2011 at the wonderful Lala Gallery in downtown Lafayette. Afterwards, we interviewed a person from the audience and some of the artists involved. The result is the audio below.
If you were involved in any capacity with E3 (audience member, performer, casual observer) and would like to comment on the evening, the interviews, or the idea of E3 in general, you can call The Media Collective’s freeform question, comment, and improvisational line, 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638). Call day or night!
Enjoy!

Sadly, some of the artists left early and we were not able to interview them in person. We did, however, follow up via e-mail. You can read the rest of this entry for their written responses.
