FEATURED THIS WEEK:

Monday 12/26/05
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH ANDREAS VOLLENWEIDER
Swiss harpist Andreas Vollenweider is certainly an icon of modern music. He has a new CD called VOX (Kinkou) on which he sings English lyrics for the first time. But when he comes into the Echoes living room, he leaves the songs outside and instead improvises on Celtic harp and Japanese koto. Performing live with percussionist Andi Pupato, Vollenweider spins out three enchanting songs that reveal his mastery of melody and just about anything with strings.

Wednesday 12/28/05
LISA GERRARD & JEFF RONA: TRAVELING A THOUSAND ROADS
Dead Can Dance singer Lisa Gerrard and film and TV composer Jeff Rona collaborate on a soundtrack to the short film, A THOUSAND ROADS (Reincarnate Music), directed by Chris Eyre and written by Joy Harjo, both of whom created the critically acclaimed film, SMOKE SIGNALS. The movie is on permanent exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. Lisa Gerrard and Jeff Rona talk about creating a soundtrack that goes to the spirit of the Native American themes in the film, without actually creating Native American music.

Thursday 12/29/05
LISA GERRARD: CINEMATIC SIREN
Lisa Gerrard came to renown as the haunting singer of Dead Can Dance, intoning her own supralingua dialect in ecstatic refrains. Dead Can Dance recently re-formed, but Lisa has been on her own for several years, taking a surprising turn into film music. Her score to THE INSIDER was critically acclaimed and her soundtrack to GLADIATOR won her a Golden Globe Award along with co-composer Hans Zimmer. We talk with Lisa Gerrard about combining her uniquely personal music into the inherently collaborative art of film making.
