FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 01/05/04
RALF ILLENBERGER: GERMAN PRECISION/SEDONA MOODS
Ralf Illenberger was at the leading edge of the modern instrumental movement. Since his first album in 1977, the German born musician has released several recordings of evocative chamber fusion music, mixing his intricate finger-picking guitar techniques with synthesizers, guitarist Martin Kolbe, sax player Budi Siebert and Andreas Vollenweider's rhythm section. In his closet-sized home studio in Sedona, Arizona, Ralf Illenberger talks about his journey from Germany to Sedona and the music that took him there.

Wednesday 01/07/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH AL JEWER & ANDY MITRAN
Hailing from Chicago, Al Jewer and Andy Mitran make a music born of the western plains and transmuted through synthesized textures and global rhythms. Al Jewer is a specialist in Native American flute while Andy Mitran handles synthesizers and percussion in the evocative music of their new CD, TWO TREES (Laughing Cat Records). These two musicians fill up the Echoes Living room with more gear than some 8 piece ensembles who've played on the show. We'll hear the haunting melodies of their music revealed live.

Thursday 1/08/04
SHAKATURA: SPINNING GLOBAL ECSTACY
Shakatura is San Francisco based musician Galen Butler who emerged out of that cities rave and trance scene to create a music of compelling electronic designs laced with global music elements and mystic imagery. We talk to a musician who was born well after 60s psychedelia, but who claims that as his musical roots. He embodies that spirit in a music for the 21st century heard on his CD GALACTIVATION (CyberOctave).

Friday 1/09/04
A CELTIC ECHOES
The memories of Riverdance have faded, but Celtic music continues to thrive. We'll hear a Celtic soundscape of new music including the latest from Solas, Kila, Jeff Johnson and the Celtic Twilight 6 collection.
