A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH MICHAEL MANDRELL & BENJY WERTHEIMER
Benjy Wertheimer and Michael Mandrell take up positions on the floor of the Echoes living room for a live performance of yoga inspired music. Benjy Wertheimer was a founding member of the world fusion band, Ancient Future and is a master of the tabla drums and esraj, an Indian violin. Michael Mandrell is a sensitive finger-style guitarist who's music was recently used on the soundtrack to the award winning documentary, STONE READER.

ROBERT FOX'S ELECTRONIC THEATRE
Robert Fox is a veteran English synthesist who started as a drama teacher making music as soundtracks to plays he was directing in Wales. Fox is still teaching and directing, but he also releases dense, orchestral electronic albums on his own and as a member of Code Indigo. His latest work, UNDERWORLD, comes from a production of Faust. We talked to Fox in England about his unconventional career and predilection for electric space epics.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH BURNING SKY
In Arizona, the Native American group, Burning Sky light up the Echoes Living Room when they play live. Performing music from their latest CD, A SIMPLE MAN, this trio of Native flute, acoustic guitar and bass weave a sound born of the Arizona desert where they live and the reservations where they grew up. Burning Sky play their haunting melodies and talk about the origins of their sound.

Friday 1/23/04
STEVE ROACH: MYSTIC CHORDS AND SACRED SEQUENCERS
Steve Roach cut his teeth making sequencer-driven music full of cycling note patterns and symmetrical design. It's been about 13 years since he abandoned that sound, but recently he's begun exploring that process again, wedding it to his techno-tribal and drone zone explorations. In Steve Roach's Tucson studio, he plugs in to reveal some of his latest excursions including, Life Sequences and Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces.
