FEATURES FOR THE WEEK
Tuesday 04/05/05
ECHOES APRIL CD OF THE MONTH
HOLD ME TO THIS: CHRISTOPHER O'RILEY PLAYS RADIOHEAD
As host of the public radio show From the Top, pianist Christopher O'Riley is a competitor. But that's not stopping us from picking his latest album as our CD of the Month for April. This is O'Riley's second run at the music of Radiohead, following his critically acclaimed TRUE LOVE WAITS CD. But HOLD ME TO THIS might be even better as O'Riley creates knotty, challenging re-inventions full of overtone clusters and spiraling counterpoints. Yet, the essential melodicism, incisive drive and quirky structures of Radiohead still ring out as O'Riley finds the rock and let's the classical breathe. We'll hear it in this special two hour feature.

Wednesday 04/06/05
JON JENKINS: DREAM ORCHESTRAS
Jon Jenkins is an electronic composer who grew up listening to the progressive rock of Genesis and Pink Floyd. You can still hear that influence in his latest album, BEYOND CITY LIGHT (Spotted Peccary Records), but he's gotten more expansive in his approach, creating elongated melodies and slowly evolving orchestrations. In the studios of Spotted Peccary Records, Jon Jenkins takes us inside his dream orchestra.

Thursday 04/07/05
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH DOUG WOOD
Doug Wood is a journeyman guitarist living in Cleveland who has been making a pastoral brand of acoustic guitar music that's edged by a post-Michael Hedges sensibility. Doug Wood comes into the Echoes Living Room to play music live from his CDs, I AM KIROC and SOLACE.

Friday 04/08/05
DARIN SCHAFFER: EASTERN BASS GUITAR
A lot of solo musicians try to sound larger than they are, but most of them do it with a lot of over-dubbing. Bay Area artist Darin Schaffer plays an acoustic bass guitar but with looping, and electronic processing he creates a broad tapestry that sometimes sounds eastern, sometimes country and often ambient. Darin Schaffer talks about his approach and his latest album.
