JAI UTTAL, BEN LEINBACH & MANOSE: YOGA JOYS & OTHER DELIGHTS

Since then, the San Francisco based musician has played rave-up jam band eat west music with his Pagan Love Orchestra and more meditative sounds based on his Kirtan singing of Hindi mantras. Recently he's been working with multi-instrumentalist Ben Leinbach and Nepalese flute player Manose. They have a CD called Music for Yoga and other Joys. Jai Uttal, Ben Leinbach and Manose talk about yoga trance and dance.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH RADHIKA MILLER
Radhika Miller was a flutist following the traditional classical path when she began meditating and discovered Indian music. That sent her off in a new musical direction that has found her creating a classical world fusion. She's released dozens of solo albums, including her recent CD, HEAVEN, and she appears on the best selling Celtic Twilight collection. In her Marin County home, Radhika Miller and pianist/percussionist Tony D'Anna engage in a contemplative dialogue in music.

Thursday 09/02/04
HUZUR NAWAZ: LABYRINTHS
Before adopting the Sufi name of Huzur Nawaz, he was known as Stephen Coughlin, releasing his first album, SONG OF THE REED under that name in the 1980s. Since then, he's been exploring a sound that travels from San Francisco's Grace Cathedral to Sufi meditations, playing his Indian bansuri flute as well as his soprano saxophone. In his home in Central California, Huzur Nawaz talks about unfolding the sound of his albums, HUZUR THE PRESENCE (Coughlin) and his collaboration on MYSTERIES by Musica Divina (Musica Divina).

Friday 09/03/04
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.
