FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 01/13/03
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH LISA LYNNE
We've had Celtic harpist Lisa Lynne perform many times on Echoes before, but never quite like this. In her San Fernando Valley living room, she gathers members of the Lian Ensemble, a group of Iranian exile musicians who add their exotic colors to Lisa's Celtic and Elizabethan tinged themes. Lisa plays music from her newest album, MAIDEN'S PRAYER (New Earth).

CD OF THE MONTH:
JEFF PEARCE: BLEED
Bleed is the foreboding name of a new CD by ambient guitarist Jeff Pearce, but Pearce's wounds are more emotional than physical. This darkly introspective, but quietly melodic CD finds Pearce creating reverberant guitar orchestrations through his fragile melodies into loops, delays, and echos that build and converge, creating a sonic womb of contemplation. Pearce says the album is based on some old journals and the teenage traumas and yearnings they awakened, but you don't need to know that to hear the melancholy in his music. This album also includes more contemporary inspirations. He recorded "Through Tears" while watching the events of 9-11 unfold. That track debuted on An Echoes Requiem in October, 2001.

Wednesday 01/15/03
THOMAS NEWMAN
THOMAS NEWMAN: THE ROAD TO SOUNDTRACK REDEMPTION
The most idiosyncratic of the Newman film composing family that includes his father, Alfred Newman, bother David and cousin Randy Newman, Thomas Newman talks about breaking the mold of Hollywood film scores. Newman's scores include "The Shawshank Redemption" "Road to Perdition" and "Erin Brockovich." He won an Emmy last year for his theme to HBO's "Six Feet Under." "I still to this day wonder why strings equal big screen," says Newman. In Newman's scores, it doesn't. Gamelan metalophones, mutating guitars strummed with maracas and sponges, and arcane instruments like the stroviol populate his scores. We go inside Thomas Newman's Los Angeles studio where he plays some Rube Goldberg style instruments and talks about breaking the death-grip of the Hollywood orchestral score.

Friday 01/17/03
MEDWYN GOODALL: ANCIENT ARTHURIAN AMBIENCES
Medwyn Goodall has never met a New Age concept he didn't like. Over the last quarter century, he's released over 80 CDs, each bathed in a New Age concept from Fairies to Angels, with stops at meditation, Celtic anthems and more. In his rustic home in Southern England, Goodall talks about his prolific proclivities, his early days as a rocker and his links to the pastoral and ancient spirits of England.
