INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 10/23
MARCONI UNION: TAPPING THE WIRELESS ETHER
Electronic duo orchestrates the static of ether into ambient expanses

Out of the industrial northern lands of Manchester, England, the duo called Marconi Union seem to orchestrate ambient ballets out of atmospheric static. James Crossley and Richard Talbot met in a record shop and began connecting their laptop computers and electric guitar for ambient tone poems that emerge out of the ether as if they were dialing in a lost broadcast on an old radio tuner. In a London studio, Marconi Union plugs in and talks about their northern soundscapes.

BOB HOLROYD: BACK TO BASICS, AMBIENTLY
A synthesist comes in from the global sampling world to find a sound closer to home

Bob Holroyd has gained a reputation for his ethno-techno sound designs, but on his latest CD, Hollow Man, he returns to more organic sounds and electronically generated landscapes in an album of haunting, electronic spaces bisected by acoustic strings. From his London home, Bob Holroyd talks about the sounds that fill Hollow Man.

RALPH TOWNER: TIME LINES ON 6 AND 12 STRINGS
A legend of finger-style guitar takes us back in time

There are a few jaw dropping names in finger-style guitar playing: Leo Kottke, Tommy Emmanuel, Michael Hedges. But the one who has the jaw-droppers dropping is Ralph Towner. Through his work with the Paul Winter Consort, Oregon, and a string of solo albums on ECM, he has defined acoustic guitar nirvana. In this interview, Ralph Towner talks about his journey.

BANCO DE GAIA: GLOBAL POLITICS IN ETHNO-AMBIENT TAPESTRIES
England's leading ethno-techno artist orchestrates a global music of the electro-imagination

Ferengistan may be the ancient name that Arabs had for the west, as Toby Marks claims, or it may be a word play on Star Trek's venal Ferengi race. But there's no doubting the message behind the latest ethno-ambient opus from Banco de Gaia, the non de plume of Toby Marks. Farewell Ferengistan is a breathless trip through middle eastern grooves, ululating chants, sci-fi voice clips and often ecstatic melodies. It was our CD of the Month for July and now, Toby Marks talks about the state of the world and electronica when we interview him on Echoes.
