INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK
Monday 06/01 and the weekend of June 6th
ECHOES JUNE CD OF THE MONTH
TOSCA: NO HASSLE
The Viennese duo called Tosca may take their name from the Puccini opera, but this plugged in pair doesn't usually have romantic intrigue and mezzo-sopranos in mind when they compose. With No Hassle, they've made an album that goes deeper than the chillout lounge. It may not make it onto the dance floor, but it will reverberate across the ballroom in your head with a sultry beckoning call and warm embrace.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH MATTHEW SCHOENING
Live cello loops
Add the name Matthew Schoening to your list of favorite looping cellists. His instrument looks like an electric stick, but it sounds like a string orchestra when he layers it in a real time performance. We'll hear him do just that when he plays live on Echoes.
