FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Tuesday 02/24/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH SAMITE
Samite is a Ugandan refugee who's been living in the U.S. for over a decade. But his music has always been born of Uganda, with a serene voice, haunting melodies and instruments like the kalimba. The past two years have been tragic for the musician who watched his wife, Joan, die from a brain tumor. He wrote much of the music on his new CD, TUNULA ENO (Triloka) while nursing her. Samite comes into the Echoes living room with guitarist David Cullen to sing some of his new songs.

Wednesday 02/25/04
DAVID WRIGHT: GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE
David Wright is a longtime English synthesist who released his first album back in 1991. Since then, he's had several solo releases and is a co-founder of Code Indigo, a synthesizer ensemble essaying a quantum sci-fi approach to space music. On his own, Wright initially drew on sources that include Klaus Schulze and Vangelis for his orchestral space music, but recent albums like WALKING WITH GHOSTS, show a more electronica side to this artist. In addition to his own music, Wright also runs the A.D. Music label whose artists include Witchcraft, Robert Fox and Code Indigo. In his Bungay, England studio, David Wright plugs us in.

Thursday 02/26/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH ADRIAN LEGG
Veteran English guitar eccentric, Adrian Legg plugs into the Echoes Living Room for an extraordinary concert of guitar music that defies categorization. Based in folk traditions from England to Appalachia, Adrian Legg is nevertheless a thoroughly modern musician, using a custom electric guitar with special banjo pitch-bending pegs and an array of electronic processing effects. Although his latest album, GUITAR BONES (Favored Nations Acoustic Records) is all acoustic, Legg is decidedly electric when he plays some of this music live on Echoes.

Friday 02/27/04
ECHOES AT THE OSCARS
Put on your tux and tails and walk the red carpet of Echoes at the Oscars. We'll hear music from nominated films like Lost in Translation, The Cooler, 21 Grams, Whale Rider and The Fog of War
as well as soundtracks that seemed to escape the Academy's notice. It's all on the wide screen of Echoes.
