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

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.
Yesterday we acquired an inexpensive electric guitar, at a local pawn shop, to pursue an adventure in the world of prepared guitars. We could not be happier with our purchase. =)
Enjoy one of the many fruits from our labors. Beware. It has seeds.
