INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Tuesday 10/03
STEVE REICH: MINIMALIST MEMORIES ON HIS 70th BIRTHDAY
The most influential musician of the last 50 years turns 70
There is virtually no modern musician in contemporary music who hasn't been influenced by composer Steve Reich. From hip-hop to ambient, Radiohead to Suzanne Vega, artists have absorbed the minimalist concepts found in his early tape-loop pieces like Come Out to his minimalist masterpiece, Music for 18 Musicians. In a new interview, Steve Reich looks back at a lifetime of work that changed music as we know it today.

The master of Native American flute re-wires his sound in this exhilarating collaboration with synthesist Cliff Sarde, lyra-harp guitarist William Eaton and percussionist Randy Wood.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH THE ALBUM LEAF
Ambient chamber rock comes alive
Ambient music isn't just the realm of electronic and dance artists. Jimmy LaValle is a punk rocker who founded the alt-progressive guitar band, Tristeza. As The Album Leaf, he creates a more intimate ambient chamber rock music, with multiple keyboards providing Enoesque landscapes with violin melodies and seductive rhythms. At Black Box Recording Studios in San Diego, he brings his band in to play live.

RICHARD LEO JOHNSON: RIDING THE RAILS OF RUSTIC AMERICANA
An acoustic guitar wizard creates an Americana myth

Richard Leo Johnson came to renown for his death-defying pyrotechnic forays of two-handed guitar tapping, often on a double-necked acoustic guitar. But 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 talks about his myth and the music it inspired.
