FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 12/03/01
MARS LASAR-SAMPLED SOUNDSCAPES
Mars Lasar started out as a Keith Emerson inspired keyboard played from Australia. He's played on recordings by Seal and Herbie Hancock, and on countless soundtracks and commercials, but in recent years he's become a composer whose music is more about sound design than keyboard technique. On his latest album, KARMA (Paras) Lasar creates a global soundscape, drawing on instruments from Africa to Bali, all at the touch of a computer keyboard. In his studio in Los Angeles, we sample Mars Lasar's life journey.


Tuesday 12/04/01
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH BRIAN GORE
Brian Gore is from a third generation of finger-style guitarists influenced by the "grandfathers" Leo Kottke and John Fahey and the "fathers," Will Ackerman and Alex de Grassi. He's a solo guitar proselytizer who stages International Guitar Night performances with the leading exponents of finger-style guitar. We capture Brian Gore in a San Francisco living room where he deploys the intricate melodies of his music in a live performance.

Wednesday 12/05/01
ECHOES OF GEORGE HARRISON
Echoes remembers George Harrison with music that has found its way into the Echoes soundscape, including covers of his compositions by Angels of Venice, Rasa, and Michael Hedges. George Harrison's spirit informed the sounds of many. He helped bring eastern spirituality to the west as well as musicians such as Indian master Ravi Shankar and his instrument, the sitar. We'll hear Harrison performing with Shankar and a Harrison classic that still resonates today.


A JOURNEY TO WAVE WORLD
Wave World is an imaginary planet populated by alien beings that spew pollen and fly with their tendrils trailing. It's also a Dutch synthesizer group working in post-space music sound designs and incorporating Theremin and electronic wind instruments. A collaboration of computer graphics and electronic music, we talk to Wave World who give us a roadmap to their planet and music.

Thursday, 12/06/01
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH AFRO CELT SOUND SYSTEM
Afro Celt Sound System plugs into the Echoes living room and blows all circuits with their kinetic mix of African and Celtic melodies and rhythms tied to ambient and techno grooves. Playing music from their latest CD, VOLUME THREE: FURTHER IN TIME (Realworld), Afro Celt suffuses the Echoes Living with Iarla O'Lionard's lilting sean nos themes and N'Faly Kouyate's rippling kora and chants. Melodies of Irish whistle and uilleann pipes ride atop a percussive storm of African, Indian and Middle Eastern percussion.
