INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 08/04
ECHOES AUGUST CD OF THE MONTH
OTTMAR LIEBERT: THE SCENT OF LIGHT
Ottmar Liebert created Nouveau Flamenco 18 years ago, and he's been bending and stretching its boundaries ever since. The Scent of Light isn't a radical departure, but a subtle shading of the Nouveau Flamenco sound with a layered and colored soundscape that brings new breadth and depth to Liebert's music. The Scent of Light is our CD of the Month for August.

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.

Modern music for solo piano
In the world of ambient chamber music, Ludovico Einaudi is becoming a major figure, cited by young bands like Balmorhea. The Italian composer is part Arvo Pärt and part George Winston, mixing fragile arrangements and electronic loops around his evocative piano melodies.
