FEATURES FOR THE WEEK
Tuesday 07/06/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH BANSHEE IN THE KITCHEN

Banshee in the Kitchen is a California trio whose hearts reside in Ireland. Brenda Hunter, Mary Tulin and Jill Eglund make up the Banshees, playing hammered dulcimer & fiddle, guitar & bouzouki, and flute & accordion respectively. In the flatlands of Bakersfield, they've forged an evocative Celtic sound that merges folk, classical and world music elements heard on their latest CD, CATCHING THE MOONCOIN. We catch Banshee in the Kitchen in Mary Tulin's living room, where they create their own brand of Celtic enchantment.

BT: THE SOUL OF A MONSTER

BT a.k.a. Brian Transeau, is a darling of the dance floor, and is responsible for a genre called techno-trance. But the electronic composer's music has always been deeper and more multi-faceted than that. You can hear his emotional range on the soundtrack to MONSTER, a harrowing film portrait of Aileen Wuornos, a street prostitute who was executed for killing seven men in Florida during the 1980s. Her life was horrible, but BT finds a soul in her world, revealed in minimalist cycles, ambient atmospheres and a touch of ambient Americana. BT talks about his score to Monster.

ECHOES JULY CD OF THE MONTH
FRITZ HEEDE: ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPTS

ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPTS is a vibrant world fusion CD orchestrated by multi-instrumentalist Fritz Heede, and a soundtrack to a brilliant animated DVD of the same name. Like that DVD, Heede's music transports you into a constantly morphing, surreal world full of propulsive rhythms, serpentine melodies and floating ambiences. It's a virtual Middle Eastern music in a psychedelic dream with Heede weaving his guitars, sitar and keyboards in with a group that includes percussionist Gilbert Levy, flutist Suzanne Teng and a host of middle eastern musicians playing oud, douduk, and kanun. We journey through Fritz Heede's Illuminated Manuscripts, Echoes July CD of the Month.

Friday 07/09/04
THE MINISTRY OF INSIDE THINGS: ELECTRONIC DECRYPTION

The Ministry of Inside Things is synthesist Chuck van Zyl and guitarist Art Cohen. Van Zyl is a disciple of 70's space music and hosts the long-running space music radio show, Stars End at WXPN in Philadelphia. When he isn't spinning CDs of heroes like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and their more recent descendants, he creates his own electronic dreamscapes with Art Cohen. Their debut CD is EVERLASTING MOMENT (Synkronos). In van Zyl's Upper Darby home, Chuck van Zyl and Art Cohen talk about the inspiration, directions and secrets of The Ministry of Inside Things.
