FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday, 10/20/03
AN ECHOES RAINFOREST
As part of World Rainforest Week, Echoes lets the sky of sound open for an all-rainforest program. We'll hear a soundscape drawn from the rainforest with music spanning from the Amazon to the Pacific Northwest. It's a Rainforest of sound, on Echoes.

AN AMBIENT MEDITATION WITH BRIAN ENO PARTS 1-3
In a special three-part series, we take you into the London studio of Brian Eno, the godfather of ambient music and Grammy- winning producer of U2, David Bowie and many others. Eno reveals new sound designs, previews new music and discusses the art of sound, including a spontaneous Kaos Pad solo. One of our most accurate music prognosticators, Eno talks about a world where music might be less important, but where musical possibilities are unlimited.

BRIAN ENO PART ONE: NEW DIRECTIONS LOST & FOUND
As much music as you've heard from Brian Eno in the last thirty odd years, there are literally shelves more works-in-progress in his London studio. He's beginning to release some of it on his Curiosities series (Opal Music), but there are scores more. We take you into Eno's studio where the composer talks about new directions lost and found, plays some current projects and gives an impromptu Kaos Pad solo.

Wednesday 10/22/03
BRIAN ENO PART TWO: AMBIENCE OF THE LONG NOW
Brian Eno usually operates on more than a single musical plane at once. At the same time he might be producing U2, he could also be sculpting an ambient sound installation. In the second part of our Brian Eno series, the composer and his brother Roger Eno, talk about the music of mid-20th century composer Hans Friedrich Micheelson and creating an ambient composition for bells that might exist in the far, far distant future.

Thursday 10/23/03
BRIAN ENO PART THREE: ABBA & HEAVY METAL/THE VELVET GLOVE & THE CLENCHED FIST
In the process of playing some new, proto-punk-techno music & poetry works, Brian Eno ruminates on the place of music in the world today, the enduring popularity of Abba, and Heavy Metal as immersive music. "I think heavy metal players haven't really understood what they're doing, because what they're really doing is making a bath that you can immerse yourself in. But they insist that they've got something to say which, of course, is a big mistake." For Heavy Metalists perhaps, but not Brian Eno.
One of our most prescient prognosticators, Eno talks about a world where music might be less important, but where musical possibilities are unlimited.

MIKE OLDFIELD: TUBULAR BELLS RETURN
It was 30 years ago that Mike Oldfield released his epic work, Tubular Bells. A single composition taking up two sides of an LP. With virtually all the instruments played by Oldfield, it was a stunning work of the imagination. And Oldfield was only 20 when it was released. Now Oldfield has gone back and re-recorded the entire work, almost note-for note, on Tubular Bells 2003 (Rhino Records). In Mike Oldfield's studio, we go back to the creation of the original Tubular Bells and hear its rebirth on the 30th anniversary.
