FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 04/21/03
AFROCELTS: REWIRING THE GLOBAL ROOTS SYSTEM
They used to be Afro Celt Sound System, a group that fused African and Celtic melodies, rhythms and musicians along with electronica grooves and loops. All those elements remain, but on their new CD, SEED (Realworld), they've dropped the Sound System and it's association with Reggae DJs. Instead, Afro Celts consider themselves more of a band these days, charting a course through an exhilarating brand of world fusion. SEED is Echoes' CD of the Month for April. We talk to the principle members of AfroCelts about building a global music from the roots up.

AN ECHOES SOUNDSCAPE & REFLECTION ON EARTH DAY 2003
On this Earth Day 2003, Echoes presents musicians speaking about music drawn from nature. From the wind whistling across a reed or a musician beating drums to the rising sun, nature has always been integral to music. We celebrate that relationship on this Earth Day 2003. We'll hear from artists like Paul Winter, Samite of Uganda, the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, The Soundings of the Planet Ensemble, Bernie Krause and Robert Rich with contemplations on the land from which their music springs. Their thoughts will be wrapped in music from the Grooved Whales of Lisa Walker to the canyon calls of Paul Winter and many more. The sound of the planet lives on in an Echoes Soundscape & Reflection on Earth Day 2003.

PETER KATER: RETURN TO VIRTUAL NATIVE SOIL
Pianist Peter Kater spent most of the 1990s working with Native American flute player R. Carlos Nakai in a series of acclaimed CDs of duets, chamber ensembles and soundtracks. On his latest CD, RED MOON (Silverwave), Kater returns to that fertile soil, recording an album of Native American chamber arrangements with an undertow of electronica rhythms. Teaming up with Nakai, Mary Youngblood and other Native musicians, Kater orchestrates an ambient native chamber music, even though during its making, few of the players were ever in the same state, let alone the same studio. Kater shows us how he created his virtual ensemble.
