INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 10/16
JOHN FOXX PART ONE: FROM METAL BEATS TO AMBIENCE DISCRETE
A poet of the new wave becomes a provocateur of the synthesizer

John Foxx came to renown as the lead singer of Ultravox in the late 1970s, mixing punk aesthetics with glamrock attitudes and electronic moods. Their self-titled debut was produced by Brian Eno. But Foxx evolved, delving into analog electronics a la Kraftwerk and ultimately creating ambient albums of gothic choruses and ethereal synthesizers. In London, John Foxx talks about Metamatic music.

JOHN FOXX PART TWO: TINY COLOUR MOVIES
Composer scores the soundtrack for the lost cinema of home movies

Remember those old color washed Super 8 home movies your parents or grandparents used to show? John Foxx has discovered an underground of Super 8 film makers taking lost, forgotten films or creating new movies of idiosyncratic visions brought to nostalgic life on a discarded format. He's created electronic soundtracks to these films that are flights of imagination. In an interview, we'll hear there's even more to Foxx's imagination than meets the ear.

Wednesday 10/18
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH FORASTIERE
A guitarist plucks American sounds Italian style

Forastiere is a brilliant Italian guitarist inspired by Michael Hedges and some of the west coast pickers. But he's created his own sound built around intricate melodic interplay and deft rhythmic shifts that are like listening to a maze unfold. Forastiere comes into the Echoes Living Room to play live.

Friday 10/20
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH RADIO MASSACRE INTERNATIONAL
A British synthesizer band orchestrates electronic spacescapes in their London home

Radio Massacre International is an electronic band noted for their use of vintage synthesizers in pursuit of long, expansive soundscapes that are mostly improvised on the spot. In the London home of RMI's Duncan Goddard, they fire up an old Mellotron, ancient analog synthesizers and devices of more recent vintage to create the kind of music you wish was the soundtrack to a Hollywood space opera. But the images will be in your head when we hear Radio Massacre International playing live from London.
