EOTO featuring Michael Travis from The String Cheese Incident and Zilla and Jason Hann from The String Cheese Incident.
Travis and Hann compose this brand new 100% improvised live breakbeat, trip-hop, house, and drum n' bass project. Nothing is pre-recorded, nothing is pre-rehearsed, nothing is pre-looped, no sets are pre-planned, no song will ever be repeated, and each night of music is completely unique to the listener. Drawing from the ethos of some of the great DJ's and computer artists of the world, they use cutting edge technology to create truly original and melodic dance music in the moment, with the undeniable power of live drums. The music is all created on the spot, recorded, then mixed and remixed live to create an ever evolving musical experience. Since the project is 100% improvised, every night promises to be a unique dance experience. Hann and Travis play different roles in this band than in SCI. Jason plays the drum kit, percussion and sampler, while Michael is in charge of the tonal elements, playing bass, guitar, and keyboards, and hand percussion and live mixing.
