FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Tuesday 04/13/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH THE MUNDI ENSEMBLE
The Mundi Ensemble plays ancient music, but with a post-modern sensibility. Based in Austin, Texas, but headed up by British born guitarist Darrel Mayer, the ensemble plays ancient songs and new compositions with a minimalist sensibility and a hint of Duane Eddy, albeit on classical guitar. Their second album, AS BARLEY FALLS (International Rain) is a whimsical mix of old and new, recorded live in a church. We gathered The Mundi Ensemble in their Austin living room for a riveting live performance of their music.

Wednesday 04/14/04
GLEN TARACHOW: TICK, TOCK, DRIP
Glen Tarachow is a New York City based composer who spends most of his time writing commercial jingles and soundtracks. But on his own, he creates an ambient soundworld called "Waterclocks" (Burning Water Rebellion Records). It's a mesmerizing work of interlaced melodic cycles picked with time-stepping delicacy. Unlike most cyclical pieces, Tarachow recorded his guitar and keyboard piece line by line, playing all the parts straight through. In his Astoria studio, Glen Tarachow takes us inside the synchronous timepiece of WATERCLOCKS.

Thursday 04/15/04
CHRISTOPHER O'RILEY'S CLASSICAL ROCK PIANO
Christopher O'Riley is a noted classical concert pianist as well as the host of Public Radio International's FROM THE TOProm the Top radio program. You'll usually hear him playing Scriabin and Mozart, but on his latest album, he plays the music of Radiohead, the critically acclaimed English art rock group. O'Riley started playing this music on piano during breaks on FROM THE TOP and wound up with an album's worth of material now called TRUE LOVE WAITS: Christopher O'Riley Plays the Music of Radio Head (Sony Classical). Christopher talks about his obsession with Radiohead and transferring their music to piano in what he calls the most difficult music he's ever played.

Friday 04/16/04
DAVID WRIGHT: GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE
David Wright is a longtime English synthesist who released his first album back in 1991. Since then, he's had several solo releases and is a co-founder of Code Indigo, a synthesizer ensemble essaying a quantum sci-fi approach to space music. On his own, Wright initially drew on sources that include Klaus Schulze and Vangelis for his orchestral space music, but recent albums like WALKING WITH GHOSTS, show a more electronica side to this artist. In addition to his own music, Wright also runs the A.D. Music label whose artists include Witchcraft, Robert Fox and Code Indigo. In his Bungay, England studio, David Wright plugs us in.
