AN ANCIENT ECHO WITH OSAMU KITAJIMA
We excavate music from 1987 by Japanese synthesist and
traditional string player Osamu Kitajima. A pioneer of world
fusion going back to his album early 1970s album, BENZAITEN,
Osamu is an often unacknowledged pioneer of world fusion with
roots directly at the source. We'll feature music from his out
of print album, PASSAGES.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH RYUICHI SAKAMOTO
Japanese composer and keyboardist Ryuichi Sakamoto sit's in The
Echoes Living Room for an unusually intimate performance on solo
piano. Sakamoto came to renown in the 1970s as part of the
synthesizer band, Yellow Magic Orchestra, and released a series
of acclaimed solo albums in the 1980s. His movie scores include
"The Last Emperor" and "High Heels." The enigmatic composer has
two new discs. One is CINEMAGE, (Sony Classical) orchestral
renderings of his film scores. The other is BTTB (Sony
Classical), or BACK TO THE BASICS. It's a solo piano album, that
includes a song that started out as a commercial jingle and wound
up number one in Japan. Ryuichi plays that song, music form his
film scores, and more in a delicate and personal performance.

Orchestra and turn their guitars into rhythm instruments from
Cuba to India. The four members of LAGQ take us between the
strings of their new music.
