INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 09/18
SOUNDS FROM THE GROUND: SAMPLE SCAVENGERS
Electronic band builds music from scatted sounds and songs

Pedal steel guitar, big bands and helicopters are all possible in the music of Sounds from the Ground. That's the ambient duo of Elliot Jones and Nick Woolfson. For the last decade they've been creating a sampledelic mix of chilled sounds including their latest CD, Luminal. In their London home, Sounds from the Ground take us into ambient space.

RADIO MASSACRE INTERNATIONAL: SOUNDING THE ELECTRONIC ECHO
British Synth ensemble uses ancient electronics for future music

Their name is intimidating and their music tends toward infinite opuses of electronic rhythms, swirling textures and far-flung melodies, mostly improvised on the spot. For the last 13 years, this Manchester-based trio has been taking up the electronic flag waved by Tangerine Dream and carrying it against all comers. In the London home of Duncan Goddard, surrounded by vintage synthesizers, Radio Massacre International talks about retro-space in the 21st century.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH RICHARD LEO JOHNSON

The first time Richard Leo Johnson played live on Echoes in 1999 he pasted us to the back wall with his intensity. He's mellowed out a bit since then. A while back, the Arkansas-born guitarist who currently lives in Savannah came across a battered National Steel guitar with the name Vernon McAlister scratched into its dull metal. Johnson took that name, created a story for Vernon McAlister, a drifter who rode the rails and played his guitar, and released an album of rustic ambient Americana. Richard Leo Johnson plays the imaginary music of Vernon McAlister and previews music from his next CD when he performs live on Echoes.

MICHAEL MANRING: MUTANT BASS GUITAR

Michael Manring isn't one of those bass guitar players content to be in the background, holding up the bottom of the music. He plucks his custom Zon bass guitar in a ballet of flying limbs and impossible pirouettes. Based in Oakland, California, Manring has appeared on just about every Windham Hill album that has an electric bass, has several albums of his own ranging from shredding metal to delicate chamber works, and recently put out a purely solo electric bass guitar CD, Soliloquy. In this interview, Michael Manring talks about his bass guitar revolution.
