INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 05/05
ECHOES MAY CD OF THE MONTH
JAMI SIEBER: UNSPOKEN
An electric cellist goes global

Jami Sieber has been putting out great albums for years now and her latest continues her electric cello extrapolations with world music touches. Sieber isn't just a fine cellist, but an evocative composer whose music always contains a quiet joy even when exploring melancholy terrain. Unspoken started out as a poetry and music project. But for this release, Sieber has dropped the spoken poetry and let the innate poetry of her music speak, hence the album title, Unspoken.

AN INTERVIEW WITH DJ SPOOKY
New York sampling savant talks about his new book, Sound Unbound

DJ Spooky is one of the leading conceptualists of sampling culture. He doesn't play a conventional instrument, but mixes matches, slices and distorts sounds from other recordings into his own elaborate soundscapes. In his new book, Sound Unbound, DJ Spooky, a.k.a. Paul D. Miller, assembles essays from Steve Reich, Brian Eno, Jaron Lanier and more, revealing the sonic contours of digital culture.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH JAMSHIED SHARIFI
Persian Fusion in a New York Apartment

Jamshied Sharifi has released two perfectly honed albums in ten years, A Prayer for the Soul of Layla in 1997 and One in 2008. They both merged vocal traditions from around the world with lush, pan-global instrumentation. Sharifi gathers an all-star cast of musicians in the living room of his New York City apartment, including Iranian singer Mamak Khadem and Moroccan singer Hassan Hakmoun along with a clarinetist, percussionists, and oud player to reveal his music live, on Echoes.

AN INTERVIEW WITH JACK ROSE
Jack Rose takes us to the outer edges of the acoustic guitar

Rose played in the avant-garde rock group Pelt before setting off on a solo guitar path that's part John Fahey and part something you've never heard before. We'll hear this idiosyncratic musician talk about his journey on Echoes.
