INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK
Monday 06/18
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH AURAH
Dream voices and looping guitars live
Aurah is the duo of Marc Dold and Judith Martin. Together, they've made elaborately arranged albums like Kismet and Etherea Borealis. When they play live, it's just the two of them, and through looping, they build up guitar and keyboard orchestrations and vocal choirs. In their garage studio behind their Los Angeles home, Aurah invite us in to hear their soundscapes created live.

AN INTERVIEW WITH DAVID HELPLING & JON JENKINS: A MUSICAL TREASURE MAP
Electronic musicians create an album of cinematic orchestrations
David Helpling is a guitarist who usually sounds like a synthesist. Jon Jenkins is a synthesist who often sounds like an ambient orchestra. They both have a couple of solo albums out, but over the last four years they've been formulating a two pronged attack which has been released as Treasure. In David Helping’s southern California Studio, the duo unfold the map of Treasure.

PIANIST CHRISTOPHER O’RILEY PLAYS LIVE
Classical pianist burrows into the music of the late Nick Drake
Christopher O'Riley is a concert pianist who's known for his TV and radio show, From The Top. But he might have more of a fondness for rock than classical music. His recent albums have been dedicated to songs by Radiohead and Elliott Smith and now, he's grappled with the tragic songs of Nick Drake on a CD called Second Grace. Christopher O'Riley graces us with his piano playing and Nick Drake's melodies live.
