Hear Rhian Sheehan’s interview in the Echoes Podcast.
New Zealand artist Rhian Sheehan has been releasing electronic albums since 2001, but he started out playing acoustic guitar. He was good enough to jam with finger-style guitar icon, Tommy Emmanuel. But after forays into pure electronic music he has emerged with a sound that brings guitars, synthesizers, music boxes and orchestras into epic, sweeping compositions. He’s just released his seventh album, Stories from Elsewhere. That album will be the Echoes CD of the Month for May. Watch for the review next Wednesday. But for now, hear this interview with Sheehan from his studio in Wellington, New Zealand. Rhian Sheehan Echoes Podcast
Among his thoughts are:
“I’ve got this guy staring right back at me with evil eyes.”
“I was trying to instill a sense of magic within the music, really, this kind of naivety, childlike quality to the whole work.”
“The children toys, musical toy obsession has not disappeared at all.”
“I collect ukuleles as well. Shock! Horror!”
“The children toys, musical toy obsession has not disappeared at all.”
“I was in Avatar. I’m dressed in red, being lead off by the Na’vi into a spaceship.”
