Hi, I'm Mike Jedlicka, the owner and operator of Optic Echo Records. I'm an electronic musician focusing on the juxtaposition of live instruments with electronics. I play the guitar, didgeridoo, hand drums (tabla, conga), shakuhatchi(very poorly), sitar, turntables, and piano. My latest release is called "Leaving Baja" and it's a free mp3 full length available on Optic Echo Records. Check my website at www.opticecho.com/MikeJedlicka for more details, and for news on the new album to be released in late 2008.
I also work as the Programming Director of Portland Radio Authority (www.praradio.org). My show is Monday nights from 6-8pm PST. I mix downtempo, ambient, and experimental electronic music on 2 turntables. You can stream these shows live, or download my podcasts here ... http://feeds.feedburner.com/opticechopresents
Bands --> It's nothing personal if I turn down your friend request. There's just too many spambots out there sucking off the swollen teet of myspace publicity. Write me a message if you want to connect ...
