11.30.10Short-form animation video "The Mirror In The Window" released-The Mirror In The Window is a collaboration between Echo Us and digital artist Andrea Attili. The apex of Echo Us' latest album, Tomorrow Will Tell The Story, the Mirror In The Window video short is based on the dynamic superposition of images, bringing forth free association through the creation of stories in the mind of the viewer...
Ethan Matthews: "Andrea's video short 'Persistence In Kerr Metrics' caught my eye earlier this year and I knew it was the perfect method of displaying the concepts brought forth on the album- it is particularly enlightening to find that still images I've been taking and compiling for years can fit so well into the complete idea- The Mirror In The Window is as much a video short as it is a music video." Two other pieces of Echo Us video are also available to youtube viewers;
both 'remuxed' from various pieces of digital animation, Anchors Away
and This Is The Dream The Dream is You appear with their original working
titles "Adonai" and "YHVH" respectively. -www.echous.net

6.09.09 There is an audio interview from late 2005 added to the site that was almost long lost, but dredged up thanks to David Vessel from Escape From Noise Radio. You can listen to it here In keeping up with the very distant past, we also have been posting old Greyhaven live footage on youtube. Check out the Absolute Probability channel The
official release date for The Tide Decides is set for July 6th. Very
soon another piece of this puzzle will be seen exclusively on www.echous.net,
a short ebook about the concept album 4.15.09 Echo Us is pleased to announce a partnership with Musea Records for the release of the conceptual album “The Tide Decides” this July, 2009. The album will be released under the imprint Musea Parallèle, Musea’s arm for ‘fusion’ releases. It is with pleasure to be working once again with Musea, who also distributed Greyhaven’s debut (Angular Records) and has such a strong history in progressive music. Stay tuned up for a lot more information on this opus of an album!
01.16.09 Echo Us recorded with Raelyn Olson once again in late November of 2008. The sessions were expansive and very smooth at the same time, bringing a new glimmer to the Echo Us sound and too the third album that is working it’s way toward the mix stages. Not to get to far ahead, you may have noticed that we have the final sound samples up for The Tide Decides. We still hope for an early spring release, and if not summer at the latest. It has been a long time for this project, and as you can tell from the sound samples a lot went into the audio production of this release. There are forthcoming announcements in the next few weeks once we are totally settled in Portland again. Hope everyone is having a great start to 2009!
9.27.08 Release planning for The Tide Decides is now underway, and a few selected songs from the album were added to playlists of a few progressive radio shows in the past month. Ethan plans on moving the studio once more before the release of the album, and after that time work will continue on the release as well as work on EU3. EU3 is titled "Tomorrow Will Tell The Story" and unlike The Tide Decides it is shaping up to be much more compact. Ethan is working with a different mix system and the album is musically made up of samples from The Tide Decides. An interesting twist on sample based music, EU3 does what other ambient projects have been doing to some extent, but instead decides to comment on itself rather than sampling external music's. Almost all the music was composed in short bursts of spontaneity. At this time, Echo Us plans on again instilling the harp talents of Raelyn Olson who also played on The Tide Decides. There is also a very interesting interview from AEA zine posted which is a new posting for this site.
9.5.2008 Echo Us' album release of The TIde Decides will feature a 2 page notebook of chronological poetry pertaining to the album. The piece is a stream of consciousness in one sense, but dovetails in order with the musical peices on the album taking the whole experience in a new direction. It's the first time we've done anything of the sort with Echo Us or past projects, so it should be a fun and novel experience. The Tide Decides Notebook will be distributed within the cd, and will not be available from major shops such as amazon or cd baby where custom packaging is prohibitive. All the better to support the independent webstores and www.echous.net because we have more control over what goes out through those channels.
7.31.07
3.3.07 Our portal here will undergo a vast makeover very soon. Some final changes and additions to The Tide Decides are taking place, incognito for the time being..
