(Do you hear Echoes on the weekend?)

	Monday Feb. 1st and the weekend of Feb. 6th February CD of the Month Nakai, Eaton and Clipman: Dancing into Silence Native flute master R. Carlos Nakai, luthier and guitarist William Eaton, and world percussionist Will Clipman return with an album of intuitive improvisations, ranging from ethereal ballets to throbbing percussion trances. It's a music that seems deep in tradition, yet free from the limits of tradition. Listen to an Echo Location
	Tuesday Feb. 2nd Interview: Kori Linae Carothers Pianist Kori Linae Carothers talks about her intimate chamber music, her recent CD Trillium, and playing with guitarist Will Ackerman and flugelhornist Jeff Oster.
	Wednesday Feb. 3rd Interview: Mellodrama Director Dianna Dilworth The Mellotron was the sound of progressive rock and space music in the 1970s. Before digital synthesizers, it was an instrument that played back the sounds of orchestras, choirs, and more to generate the grandeur of The Moody Blues, Tangerine Dream, King Crimson and more. Dianna Dilworth has chronicled the birth of the Mellotron, going back to the late 1940s and the Chamberlin keyboard as well as its current revival. We talk to her about these instruments and their epic journey.
	Thursday Feb. 4th New music: Valgeir Sigurosson It's ambient chamber music from Iceland when we hear new music by Valgeir Sigurosson. He scored the soundtrack to an environmental documentary called Draumalandio.
	Friday Feb. 5th Living Room Concert: Inbar Bakal Israeli singer Inbar Bakal unleashes an intoxicating live session of her Hebrew songs, Middle Eastern grooves and electronica textures. Listen to an Echo Location
	Monday 02/08 and the weekend of Feb. 13th Living Room Concert: Jon Hopkins Brian Eno collaborator and Coldplay session musician Jon Hopkins comes into the Echoes Living Room to play his own music live.

	Tuesday Feb. 9th Living Room Concert: Urban Nature It's Indian fusion with digital loops when we hear the duo of Urban Nature. Playing guitars, flutes and percussion, they recall the sound of John McLaughlin's Shakti, but with an electronic edge. Listen to an Echo Location

	Monday Feb. 15th and the weekend of Feb. 20th Echoes Chamber: Mark Shreeve & Ian Boddy Mark Shreeve & Ian Boddy step into the Echoes Chamber. These two British synthesists, members of Arc, hear electronic sounds from the past and present.

See the 20 Icons of Echoes!
