FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 08/11/03
DAVID BORDEN: THE MOOG OF MOTHER MALLARD'S PORTABLE MASTERPIECE COMPANY
In the early 1960s, no one was touring and playing Moog synthesizers live. But David Borden put together a synthesizer trio to perform his intricate, minimalist inspired contrapuntal designs. They were called Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Company and they were swapping patchcords and turning knobs a couple of years before Tangerine Dream or Kraftwerk got their first synthesizers. David Borden is still composing, recording and performing live. We talk to him about the early days of Moog performance and his latest directions.

Wednesday 08/13/03
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH YO-YO MA
Acclaimed classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma comes to Echoes with an all-star cast of Brazilian musicians to play music from his new CD, Obrigado Brazil (Sony Classical). Joined by guitarists Sergio & Odair Assad, pianist Kathryn Stott, wind player Paquito D'Rivera, singer Rosa Passos and percussionist Cyro Baptista, Yo-Yo Ma winds his way through themes by Brazilian composers, including Jobim and Villa-Lobos. It's a lively performance full of both joy and that haunting Brazilian-Portugese melancholy known as "saudade."

Friday 08/15/03
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH RANDY ARMSTRONG
Randy Armstrong is a gifted acoustic guitarist who has been on the World fusion scene since the mid 1970s when he was a member of the world fusion chamber group, Doah. Since that band broke up, this New Hampshire-based artist has played more world fusion with Uno Mundo and his own trio. He recently composed the score to the PBS series, Dinner on the Diner (Ellipsis Arts) and now has a new solo CD, No Regrets (Domo). Randy not only brought his acoustic guitar, but kalimbas, gongs, Native flutes and synthesizers creating a one-man soundscape in realtime. Randy Armstrong plays live, on Echoes.
