FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Tuesday 06/01/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH LANTERNA
Lanterna is Henry Frayne, a guitarist from Champaign, Illinois who creates an evocative, haunting sound based in the twang of surf guitar fed through delays and reverb. His album, HIGHWAYS (Bad Man) was Echoes' CD of the Month for March. Henry Frayne visits Echoes, where he plugs in his guitar and creates ambient renditions of an Americana of the imagination.

Wednesday 06/02/04
ECHOES JUNE CD OF THE MONTH
BT: MUSIC FROM AND INSPIRED BY THE FILM "MONSTER" (DTS)
Monster was a harrowing film portrait of Aileen Carol Wuornos, a street prostitute who was executed for killing seven men in Florida during the 1980s. But counterpointing Wuornos's tragic tale is a haunting score by BT (Brian Transeau). He crafts a melancholy refrain of tremolo guitar, chime-like keyboards and ripped metal into a haunting landscape. A special bonus of this disc is a DVD 5:1 surround CD. We get immersed in the score to Monster, the Echoes June CD of the Month.

Thursday 06/03/04
JEFF BEAL & NAWANG KHECHOG: SCORING TIBETAN TRAGEDY
TIBET: CRY OF THE SNOW LION is the critically acclaimed documentary about the plight of Tibet, filmed over the course of ten years by director Tom Peosay. Scoring his horrific tale is film composer Jeff Beal and Tibetan exile, former monk and flutist, Nawang Khechog. Together they create a haunting score that borrows from the sounds of the Himalayas with Tibetan horns, flutes, chants and percussion, but arranged into an emotional underscore. Jeff Beal, Nawang Khechog and Tom Peosay talk about their Tibetan odyssey.

Friday 06/04/04
MOYA BRENNAN: JOURNEY OF A CELTIC HARPIST
Moya Brennan has been the voice of Clannad, the pioneering Irish group for their entire 30 year career. She also has several albums of her own; the latest is TWO HORIZONS (Universal Music), a choral hymn to the Celtic harp and Irish mythology, but all of which is underscored by her Christian faith. In this sound portrait, Moya Brennan takes us along on her pilgrimage.
