FEATURES FOR THE WEEK
Monday 01/10/05
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH ACOUSTIC EIDOLON
Eidolon means a phantom or an image of an ideal. The duo called Acoustic Eidolon subscribe to the latter definition and when they appear in the Echoes living room, they are definitely not an apparition. We'll hear Acoustic Eidolon, the couple of Joe Scott and Hannah Alkire, entwine their guitjo, a guitar-banjo hybrid, and cello in their intricate, chamber music sound, live on Echoes.

JUNO REACTOR: MUSIC MAGIC MATRIX
Juno Reactor is a techno-ambient collective centered on Ben Watkins. He began as a more conventional techno-composer but has expanded his sound considerably to include flamenco guitars, Latin Chants and heavy metal thunder. In recent years he's composed music for the Matrix films and he's just released the latest Juno Reactor CD, LABYRINTH (Metropolis Records). Ben Watkins talks about his own music matrix.

ECHOES JANUARY CD OF THE MONTH
GREEN ISAC: ETNOTRONICA
Green Isac inhabits a quirky world of ambient music where charming melodies and arrangements fall somewhere between faux-exotica and the trash heap, a meeting ground of the Penguin Café Orchestra with Cluster. The duo includes a member of the Norwegian pop group, Bel Canto and their singer, Annelli Drecker. She appears on Etnotronica as Green Isac Green Isac orchestrates an often haunting sound world, with a twinkle in their eyes. We've picked it as our CD of the Month for January 2005.

Friday 01/14/05
LIFE IN BALANCE: SPINNING BOWLS
Tibetan singing bowls have been with us for a long time. Life In Balance is a Pittsburgh-based duo that trades the metal bowls for quartz crystal bowls and mixes them with flutes and electronics. Life in Balance are Steve and Ami Sciulli. Steve handles the flutes and electronics, while Amy uses the bowls you won't find in any kitchen. Their music ranges from deep meditative drones to the electronica dance grooves of their latest CD, STAR. Life in Balance shows us the way.
