Time for some Echopet

Echopet (Jez Stevens/Keith Seatman) formed more as an enthusiasts club for SH101 and Melos analog delays and despite having good intentions the duo lay somewhat dormant until they were pitched in to performing a live sound/foley track to a silent horror fantasy film made in 1929 called The Terrors. Having completed this mission, with no apparent casualties, over a year went by before work as a duo recommenced. Another year later and we have a rare glimpse of the internal workings of Echopet, a project, it seems , largely dedicated to performance only.Spirit of Gravity

Working Hard

At present trying to work on a couple of projects for 2018. Hopefully there will be a CD/Digital EP out and also a 7in Vinyl EP, featuring reworkings of four tracks cowritten with Douglas E Powell taken from the last two albums (All Hold Hands and Off We Go, A Rest Before the Walk).
The Reworks are Boxes with Rhythms in, Broken Folk, My Morning Ritual and Mr Metronome. At present we do not know when the 7inch EP will be released and are currently considering, and looking into any offers that come our way to assist with the release of this single EP. Here are a couple of images secretly taken of the team working hard on projects for 2018.
