FEATURES FOR THE WEEK Monday September 13, 1999 AFRO CELT SOUND SYSTEM What happens when Techno, Celtic and African music converge-- a new, soulful and propulsive sound, put forth by Afro Celt Sound System. With African grooves that morph into electronic rhythms, singers from Ireland and Africa, Uilleann pipes and African koras, Afro Celt makes a joyful and sensual sound on their second album, Volume Two: Release (Realworld). We talk with Irish sean nos singer Iarla O'Lionard, whistle player James McNally and Sound System savant Simon Emmerson. Tuesday September 14, 1999 KEVIN KELLER'S SWING OF THE PENDULUM Kevin Keller is a keyboardist who creates an ambient chamber music sound, using subtle synthesizer orchestrations. On his latest album, "Pendulum" (Lektronic Soundscapes), Keller is joined by cellist David Darling and guitarist Jeff Pearce. We talk with Kevin Keller about chamber music for the 21st century. Wednesday September 15, 1999 A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH CLARA PONTY On her latest CD, "Embrace" (Phillips) pianist Clara Ponty orchestrates a romantic chamber world music sound. We gathered in her cramped Manhattan apartment dominated by a grand piano percussion, flute and keyboards. As we squeezed in, Clara Ponty's music made the confines of the space evaporate in this living room concert. Friday September 17, 1999 A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH SCOTT HUCKABAY Scott Huckabay looks like a renegade from Haight Ashbury circa 1967 with long, curly black hair, embroidered vest and a loopy grin. He plays a bit like one as well, inspired as much by Jimi Hendrix as Michael Hedges. In fact, it's surprising to realize at times that Scott is actually playing an acoustic guitar because he's running it through an electric guitarist's arsenal of effects. He uses delays, reverbs, and other effects and couples them with his intricate two handed plucking techniques for music that sounds like it must be played by 3 or four guitar players. We hear Scott Huckabay playing new music and songs from his latest album, "Alchemy" (Soundings of the Planet) on Echoes. ***************************************************************** *denotes compilation ID# 99-J07-00182 Monday, September 13, 1999 (Echoes Program 29E) ARTIST SELECTION RECORDING First Half Hour Paul Avgerinos The Calling Sky of Grace Scott Huckabay Daydreams Alchemy Ron Boots Sleepless Motions Soundscape Gallery III* Kirsten Braten Berg Heiemo Og Nykkjen Northern Nights* Harold Budd First Light The Plateaux of Mirror Second Half Hour Mickey Hart Slow Sailing At the Edge Samite Having a Good Time Stars to Share Leo Kottke Retrograde One Guitar, No Vocals Michel Cusson Wolves Wolves Clara Ponty Echo The Embrace Mychael Danna & Hyenas Another Sun Tim Clement Third Half Hour Mark Biehl Mustang Landscapes Rich Goodhart Learning to Fly Affirmative Reply Kim Robertson The Clergy's The Spiral Gate Lamentation Euphoria Sleep Euphoria Night Ark Lullaby of the Sun In Wonderland Thea Suits- Silverman & Tracy Callisto's Sky Sun Dance: Summer Silverman Solstice III* Fourth Half Hour FEATURE: AFRO CELT SOUND SYSTEM Afro Celt Sound Release Volume II: Release System Ira Stein Das Neugeborne Bach Improvisations Kindelein R.
