INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK
Monday 10/15
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH ULRICH SCHNAUSS
Knob twisting chill out music live
Ulrich Schnauss is one of the signature names of chill out music.
His album, A Strangely Isolated Place codified a psychedelic brand of electronica, informed by bands like The Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine. Ulrich comes into the Echoes Living Room and provides new renditions of songs from the hallucinogenic free fall of his third album, Goodbye.

AN INTERVIEW ABOUT HORIZONS TOUCHED: THE MUSIC OF ECM
We slip behind the veil of ECM Records
ECM Records defined a style of music that has no definition, but seems to evoke a sense of space, contemplation and nuance to anyone who listens. A new book called Horizons Touched: The Music of ECM, goes behind the scenes with interviews from over 100 ECM artists and founder Manfred Eicher. We hear from editor and ECM producer Steve Lake and some of those artists.

AN INTERVIEW WITH SINGLE CELL ORCHESTRA: MITOSIS IN A MICROCHIP
An electronic musician in a comic world
Single Cell Orchestra is the recording persona of Miguel Fierro. For more than a decade he's been making intricate, mind-expanding electronic music. We visit him in his Los Angeles apartment where we sit in his bedroom studio and talk about his father, jazz horn player Martin Fierro and Miguel's sideline as a stand-up comic. It's an electro-laugh riot, on Echoes.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH ROBERT RICH & IAN BODDY
Two electronic explorers converge in the Echoes living room for a synthesizer sound charge
Robert Rich and Ian Boddy are both veterans of the electronic music scene and they've recorded a pair of albums together, but they've never played together in concert until now. They launch a set of hitherto unrecorded soundscapes live.
