RASA'S HYMNS OF DEVOTION
Rasa is an Indian word loosely translating as "essence" and it's
the name of cellist Hans Christian's latest project. On their
debut, DEVOTION, (Hearts of Space) Hans teams up with singer Kim
Waters, setting Indian devotional music to ecstatic rhythms laced
with Hans' cello, sarangi and nyckleharpe (keyed-fiddle).
Although their lyrics and melodies date back centuries, there's
nothing traditional about their performance. We talk with Hans
Christian and Kim Waters about the essence of Rasa.

THE STRANGE WORLD OF RYUICHI SAKAMOTO
Ryuichi Sakamoto is a musical enigma. He came to renown in the
1970s as part of the synthesizer band, Yellow Magic Orchestra,
and released a series of acclaimed solo albums in the 1980s. His
movie scores include "The Last Emperor" and "High Heels." In the
1990s, he's collaborated with Iggy Pop, Laurie Anderson and David
Byrne, scored dissonant electro-acoustic symphonies and totally
kitschy pop. Now, Sakamoto has two new discs. One is CINEMAGE,
(Sony Classical) orchestral renderings of his film scores. The
other is BTTB (Sony Classical), or Back to the Basics. It's a
solo piano album, that includes a song that started out as a
commercial jingle and wound up number one in Japan. Ryuichi
Sakamoto talks about his strange world.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH DAVID DARLING AND KETIL BJORNSTAD
David Darling is the renowned cellist who played with the Paul
Winter Consort for years before striking out on his own with
several recordings on the ECM label. Ketil Bjornstad is a
Norwegian pianist with dozens of recordings. These musicians get
together in the Echoes Living Room to explore slow motion largos
and dusky improvisations, drawing from their latest album of
duets, EPIGRAPHS (ECM).
