AN INTERVIEW WITH LEO ABRAHAMS
Pastoral reveries from an ambient accomplice
Leo Abrahams is a guitarist who can pluck a plaintive acoustic guitar melody and turn around to mutate his guitar into an ambient abstraction. A sideman with Brian Eno, this ambient accomplice heads for the pastoral side on his CD, The Grape and the Grain. With elements of Americana and English folk music, he creates a lyric recording that's like a soundtrack for the harvest. Leo Abrahams talks about his music on Echoes.

Friday 05/29
AN INTERVIEW WITH ROGER O'DONNELL
The electronic cure
Roger O'Donnell spent the better part of his career as keyboardist with moody rockers The Cure during their heyday in the 1980s and 90s. But now that he's out on his own, he's traded rock stardom for retro-electronic music played almost exclusively on the Moog Voyager synthesizer, the revamped Mini-Moog. O'Donnell talks about his personal electronic music on his latest CD, Stories from the Silver Box.
