INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK
Monday 06/23
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH JAMI SIEBER
Jami Sieber's electric cello looks like a stick, but it sounds like a small symphony when she wires it up an starts layering her looping melodies. On the next Echoes she plays solo versions of music from her album May CD of the Month selection, Unspoken, but they don't sound solo at all. Jami Sieber plugs in for a set of ambient chamber music on Echoes.

AN INTERVIEW WITH BIOMUSIQUE
Climbing the 10,000 steps of the spirit
Biomusique is a new group, but the musicians in it have been making challenging music for years. Lisbeth Scott is the singer from State of Grace and numerous soundtracks including the Narnia films. Greg Ellis was the percussion half of the Persian fusion duo Vas. The two artists get together on a series of meditations for voice and global atmospheres that take them into new and intimate terrain. We talk to them about the spirit behind The 10,000 Steps.

AN INTERVIEW WITH GOODING
Heartland rocker finds a cinematic side
We talk with Gooding. He's a hard rock guitarist by night with his group, The Angel/Devil, but by day he finds a more impressionistic instrumental side where he's often playing acoustic guitar over electronic backings. His albums have a charming retro design with family portraits and titles like Clap If You Love Vampires.
