about

The idea was to gather the extended family of EHC collaborators between Boston and Montreal to record a day's worth of instrumental experimentation and improvisation, followed by a day of mixing. Three albums of material came of it, which were distributed personally as gifts by DMC in handmade brown paper lunch bag CDR packages.

Some pieces were freeform, some were pre-existing riffs or short compositions expanded upon by the group, and some were led by one person who established a sound for others to join (referred to informally as "show & tell")

These recordings would not have been possible without the generous support of all involved, donating their time and creative resources. It was a grand party, at long last to see the light of wider distribution.

This is album 1 of 3.

about

Empty House Cooperative Massachusetts

With over 30 contributors through the years, I invite musicians that I trust to explore improvisation in a loose collective. Brunch is served. Since 1996, the core trio of EHC has been DMC's viola, loops, howling feedback & obsession w/ effects pedals, the heavy floral foundation of Jonah Sacks' cello, & the structure & deconstruction of Chris Brokaw's guitar. We’ve been 13, we’ve been solo. ... more
