FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 03/22/04
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.

Tuesday 03/23/04
YUVAL RON'S HANDS ACROSS THE SEA
Yuval Ron creates a fusion between Middle Eastern, Jewish and western music. He's produced albums for Turkish multi-instrumentalist Omar Faruk Tekbilek and collaborated with Vas singer Azam Ali. His group, the Yuval Ron Ensemble, plays music of Sufi origin, as well as Jewish prayers from Morocco and Yemen and Armenian Church chants. In his Los Angeles studio, Yuval Ron talks about his trans-global, trans-spiritual music.

Wednesday 03/24/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH THE CALIFORNIA GUITAR TRIO
Imagine three virtuoso guitarists playing as if they were one musician, but with 18 strings. That's the California Guitar Trio, three musicians who studied with King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp and played in his League of Crafty Guitarists, a 20 piece guitar orchestra, before embarking on their own path 13 years ago. They've just released a compilation CD, THE FIRST DECADE, celebrating 10 years of recording. The trio comes into the Echoes Living Room to play a pair of new songs, an old Echoes favorite and a startling rendition of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Friday 03/26/04
CLIFF MARTINEZ: SOUND SCULPTURE SOUNDTRACKS
Cliff Martinez is one of the more idiosyncratic of Hollywood film composers. The original drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, he's since carved out a niche career with his atmospheric soundtracks, mostly for director Steven Soderbergh including Sex, Lies and Videotape and Solaris. In addition to the usual film composers tools of orchestra and synthesizers, Martinez has custom instruments including American gamelan and the other-worldly sound sculptures of the French Baschet brothers. He merges these into haunting scores that brim with atmosphere and mystery. In his Los Angeles home, Martinez plays his instruments and talks about the interior spacescapes of Solaris and his latest film, Wicker Park.
