Eet is about improvising, but we toy some with songs. We make sounds with our bodies and discarded diminutive objects. We use microphones and loopers. We live in a house. We have a cat with special needs. Come on over, we'll cook you dinner.
"how can something so dissonant be so cute!... as ryan lays down sampled acoustic instruments, drones, clicks, and well... actually i don't know what the hell that sound could be, alyssa moans and hums along as if the sounds were as common day as the "rockin beethoven" cell phone ring. not only does this leave you completely infatuated, but also feeling good knowing you just witnessed an extremely rare and unique performance."

"Eet is one of my favorite unsung bands in Portland. The last time they played Valentine's it reminded me of a strange, modernized version of certain Moondog songs that feature women's vocals. It's really interesting stuff... Not to be missed."

"...there is indeed an educational approach to the way they present their musical experiments... their students must be incredibly lucky, as these two have a sense of fun and charm that makes their toy instrument musique concrete entirely engaging. Seriously, they could easily explain why Columbus didn't really discover America by lecturing through circuit bent speak 'n spells and all manner of effects pedals without the kids even catching on that they were being subverted."

it was a real pleasure making your acquaintance and hearing your fine set. especially grateful for 'Relopps 1-3' - it was awful generous of you to share. best of luck on your tour!
I listened to almost all of Danger Barn. Fucking incredible. Next time I run into you two, you better run, because I will be getting on my knees and proposing.
thanx for your nice message and glad to read that you have been enjoying the CD your work sounds interesting, wish I could come over for dinner someday...
