ECHOTEST & SPECIAL GUESTS (Album Release)
http://echotestmusic.com/

Having met through the Three of a Perfect Pair Music Camp in 2011, bassists Julie Slick (Adrian Belew Power Trio) and Marco Machera started collaborating in April 2014 to play a short run of shows in Tuscany, after Julie's European tour with The Crimson ProjeKCt. Very spontaneously, new songs were written during a few days of rehearsals. The impromptu ‘bass duets’ ended up being so satisfying and well-received that Julie and Marco eventually decided to write and record more material together, eventually giving the project a name: EchoTest. The group's live shows and albums feature many fascinating and legendary local and international artists (Pat Mastelotto, Tim Motzer, Zach LoPresti, Ali Wadsworth, Ian Gray, and Greg Rosen). The band is now proudly celebrating the release of their third album, "From Two Balconies" in Julie's hometown of Philadelphia.

The sound they create is not quite what one would expect from a couple of traditionally low end instruments; it's a reinvention of the role of solo electric bass and brilliantly displays the songwriting abilities of the duo... a captivating combination of loop music, ambient soundscapes and interlocking bass patterns, always melodic yet aggressive and edgy at times.
