FEATURES FOR THE WEEK
Tuesday 05/17/05
SOUND TRIBE SECTOR NINE: ARTIFACTS OF THE FUTURE
Sound Tribe Sector Nine calls themselves a collective, integrating guest musicians, multimedia artists and even the audiences at their live shows into their expansive musical concept. Fundamentally a band of accomplished instrumentalists, STS9 has made computer-based looping and sampling an integral part of both their live shows and recording process. Guitarist Hunter Brown and bassist David Murphy talk about the intersection of electronica and improvisation that's heard on their latest CD ARTIFACT.

Wednesday 05/18/05
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH THE ALBUM LEAF
On record, The Album Leaf is the brainchild of Jimmy Lavalle, who composes the music and plays most of the instruments. But on stage, he puts together a group of versatile and seasoned musicians to give life to his music in concert. LaValle brings The Album Leaf into the Echoes Living Room where they unfold the haunting melodies and ambient moods of their CDs, IN A SAFE PLACE (Sub Pop Records) and SEAL BEACH (Better Looking Records).

Thursday 05/19/05
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH BLOW UP HOLLYWOOD
Their name is certainly scary and threatening, but the music of this New York-based art rock group ventures into regions of dream pop, moody rock and evocative chamber instrumentals. Their recent album, FAKE, is already garnering critical hosannas. Blow Up Hollywood conjure up a special set for the Echoes soundscape when the play live.

Friday 05/20/05
LAUREL MACDONALD'S LUCID LULLABIES
On her latest CD LUSCINIA'S LULLABY, Laurel MacDonald sings in Latin, Gaelic, English, and in a lighthearted vocalese that owes as much to the swinging 60's pop of the Swingle Singers as to the avant-garde of Meredith Monk. In their Toronto studio, MacDonald and her partner, producer Philip Strong, layer voices, rhythms and atmospheres to create soundtracks for modern dance and independent films. We talk to Laurel MacDonald, Philip Strong and Toronto Dance Theater choreographer Christopher House, about music and movement.
