FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 01/27/03
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH ROBERT RICH
Robert Rich plugs into the Echoes Living Room and performs live. The San Francisco Bay area synthesist is one of the leading exponents of techno-tribal music, mixing throbbing percussive rhythms with swirling textures and melodies that may undulate on bamboo flutes, lap steel guitar or synthesizer. In the Echoes Living Room, he conjures up the darkly shifting textures of his latest CD, BESTIARY (Release) as well as his more organic, techno-tribal works like PROPAGATION (Hearts of Space)

Wednesday 01/29/03
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH DRALA
The world music ensemble, Drala, performs live on Echoes.
Drala is David Nichtern and Steve Gorn. Nichtern is a noted composer and guitarist best known for writing the Maria Muldaur hit "Midnight at the Oasis" and for an extensive list of session work. Steve Gorn has lent his serene bansuri flute sounds to everyone from Paul Simon to percussionist Glen Velez. As Drala, they sculpt a modal, meditative sound. With the addition of electric bass and Indian tabla, Drala performs music from their self-titled debut on Dharma Moon, live on Echoes.

Thursday 01/30/03
DO IT YOURSELF DESKTOP MUSIC

Ever have the urge to make your own music but you can't play an instrument? We'll show you how when we demonstrate a computer-based "sequencing instrument" called Abelton Live. It's just one among many options the desktop composer has for building tunes out of samples and loops.

Friday 01/31/03
ISHQ
Echoes travels to Lands End in England where we find Ishq. It sounds like an acronym for International Space Head Quarters and judging from the music of Matt Hillier, that might be appropriate, but it's actually a Persian greeting. Matt Hillier isn't Persian, but he works a highly ambient brand of ethno-techno from his seaside home. Hillier talks about the ambient spaces heard on his album ORCHID (Instinct) and the landscape around them.
