The
Eclectic Ensemble Returned to Live From Studio 5!
“Live From Studio 5!”
is hosted by Cher Dial, Casey Moo, Dew Glass and Doug The Thug and is heard
Wednesday nights from 10 to midnight on KFAI, 90.3 FM Minneapolis and 106.7 St.
Paul and on the Internet at www.kfai.org
The Eclectic
Ensemble’s return engagement to our show included a LIGHT SHOW. Casey Moo got to the
heart of the matter and dubbed the music "painting with sound". The experience was
like watching a symphony composed in real time.
The light show was a first for the show, adding an extra element to the performance. The Eclectic Ensemble consists of Tim Donahue, Director and bass guitar, percussion, sound effects, Charlie Henrikson, guitar, violin, effects and John Vance Synth, keys, and effects.
The trio works with others on various projects, such as Lady Tobalyas but these three are the core.

You can listen to the
rebroadcast, or visit YouTube for a sample.
Please check em out
on facebook, and go experience them in person.
They have a wonderful
way of bringing music to public spaces.
Music Of The Sun
(MOTS) is a mobile, solar- and bicycle-powered outdoor improvisational ambient
music series that happens for the love of Minneapolis, public space and art infused
social interaction. Five times throughout July and August 2014, The Eclectic
Ensemble will load a full range PA system and instruments into three
custom-built bicycle trailers and pedal to various metro-area locations to
perform for free to the public. Performances happen any time during daylight
hours, last 60 minutes, and can occur on any day of the week. Music Of The Sun
performances are weather sensitive and announced three to five
days in advance. Rain postpones performances. To be informed of MOTS
performances you can become a fan of The
Eclectic Ensemble on Facebook or, to receive updates via email, contact tim@theeclecticensemble.com stating your interest.
This activity is made
possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan
Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and
cultural heritage fund.
