Ensemble Economique has been played on NTS shows including Awkward Movements, with Something New Is Happening first played on 29 April 2013.

Ensemble Economique is a drone / psychedelic project of Brian Pyle (Starving Weirdos, RV Paintings) started in 2008 in Manila, California, United States.

The eight pieces on the debut album, released on October 2008, At the Foot of Nameless Roads range from extended tonal drift-scapes to brief exercises in dissonance, each approaching the field of drone from a different angle. Clearly Pyle is no part-timer and his varied, often very challenging music takes in a broad range of influences.
