INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 01/19
AN INTERVIEW WITH JÓHANN JÓHANNSSON
Icelandic orchestrations and Techno-Nostalgia
Jóhann Jóhannsson's "Fordlandia" was one of the most haunting albums of 2008 with its deep ambient chamber music designs. From his home in Reykjavík, Jóhann talks about music that explores the philosophical ramifications of IBM computers from the 1960s and the failed totalitarian utopia of Fordlândia.

ECHOES REMIXED
It's Echoes in Digital Variations
On the next Echoes, things might sound familiar, but not quite as Echoes gets remixed. Bombay Dub Orchestra interprets Banco de Gaia, Thievery Corporation updates the Tijuana Brass and Ulrich Schnauss gets digitally reshuffled as we hear alternate takes on familiar tunes. Familiar, at least, if you listen to Echoes.

AN INTERVIEW WITH SUMNER MCKANE
Ambient Americana that takes nostalgia and sends it into space
It's been several years now that guitarist Sumner McKane has been releasing albums of evocative soundscapes dipped in Americana as cinematic as a John Ford western and as nuanced as an Andrew Wyeth painting. But McKane's landscapes are tinged in ambient atmospheres and pulled by an undertow of psychedelia that makes it some of the most unassumingly mind-bending music of the decade. In his home north of Portland, Maine, Sumner McKane takes us through the photo album of "What a Great Place to Be."
