INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 10/01
OCTOBER CD OF THE MONTH
JAPANCAKES: GIVING MACHINES

The story behind a band called Japancakes is that they started as a band who would play a single melody for 45 minutes. They've come up with quite a few more melodies since that initial concept and you can hear them on their engaging new CD, Giving Machines. Think the Penguin Café Orchestra meets Explosions in the Sky. It's a precision cut album of atmospheric guitar, classical structures and intricate arrangements that range from quaint to country. Japancakes' Giving Machines is our CD of the Month for October.

DEVA PREMAL AND MITEN IN A LIVING ROOM CONCERT

Deva Premal is one of the original modern chant Divas. She intones Hindu chants in her silken, air brushed voice over the trans-Indian arrangements of her longtime partner, Miten. These German musicians come into the Echoes Living Room with Nepalese bansuri flute player Manose to transfigure the air with chants that sound more like songs than rituals.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE LUMINOUS WORLD ORCHESTRA: ASSEMBLING A VIRTUAL GLOBAL ORCHESTRA
TV film composer goes off the path

Steven Chesne has made his living composing scores for middle-brow TV shows like "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper," "The Hogan Family," "Kirk," "Life Happens," and "Perfect Strangers." None of that prepares you for the subtle, almost Arvo Part-like global sounds he creates under the guise of The Luminous World Orchestra. We visit Steven Chesne in Los Angeles where he illuminates The Luminous World Orchestra.
