Mass Echo is a post modern visionary rock band which resides in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. In the current, it is the creative partnership between Michael David Stricker and Sebastian John Jurowski. The two first met in the mid 80’s on the playgrounds of Michaels hometown of Hamilton. (Sebastian had just sailed in from Poland five years earlier). The progression since then was left to the inevitable. Though musically linked since 1996, the definitive inception began in ’06. With ten years of working on sounds, writing and honing their skills, came the realization that it would be ideal to record their ideas as inspiration arose. The decision was to do it themselves. Thus, immersing themselves in the art of writing and recording. Using Pro Tools LE and other acquired musical gear and instruments they had collected over time, they set up a studio in Michaels dining room. In a span of two years Mass Echo ended up tracking 30 plus songs. For the direction and vision of “O b l i v i o n†(79 min.), they would choose 15 of those soundscapes. Michael (vocals/guitars) would also end up playing all the drums, bass, and keys on the album. Sebastian(guitars) would pitch in on organs and pianos. Both are vision and idea men. Along with the standard instruments used to record a rock record, they would end up using things found around the house to add extraordinary textures to their sculpture. After six months of mixing their near 80 minute opus, they brought the 15 songs to the Joao Carvalho Mastering Studio in Toronto, Ontario. The final engineering/mastering would be done by Joao Carvalho himself. The result of their first offering is musical, somewhere between old and new. Think of a gypsy caravan visiting a space carnival. Multi-instruments wind you through compositions of rhythms, moods, emotions, twists and turns, colours, and a nod to the subconscious. By the time you read this, Mass Echo will already be preparing to support “O b l i v i o n†live, and tracking for the second and third albums. There is a wealth of material that the world needs to hear. Does anyone need a breath of fresh air?
