‘Something of a love letter to late 70’s / early 80’s NYC, Echo Party originated as a carefully woven audio-only mega-mix. A pastiche of early rapp, dusted disco and post-punk ~ utilizing everything from turntables to tape echo, glockenspiel to guitar, and moog to kazoo…

Records both classic and obscure served as the foundation / canvas for Edan’s sonic embellishment via musical instruments, various effects (tape echo, reverb, phasing) and techniques (edit-style chopping, stereo panning/imaging). The end result is essentially a fever-dream of fast moving audio vignettes that blur the line between the pre-existing recordings, and brand new composition.

Once completed (circa 2009), the heady audio collage was then given to celluloid-splicer-extraordinaire, Tom Fitzgerald, who meticulously set the music to a wild array of found footage ~ sources ranging from Bollywood & martial arts films to subversive 60’s animation, obscure new wave 8mm & vintage breakdance/graff footage.’
