Music 101 for Saturday 29 March 2014
2-3pm
Liam Finn
Liam Finn and EJ Barnes reflect on their seven-year musical partnership and their work on Liam's new solo album, The Nihilist.
In Session: Neko Case
Singer-songwriter Neko Case was here for the NZ Festival and stopped by Radio NZ with a scaled-down version of her band for a live session.
The Sampler: Angel Olsen
Nick Bollinger reviews the bleakly poetic second album Burn Your Fire For No Witness from 26-year-old Missourian Angel Olsen.
3-4pm
Raga For Peter Walker
Still performing at 75, American guitarist Peter Walker originally gained attention on the Greenwich Village folk scene in the mid-'60s. Walker went on to study Indian raga composition with Ravi Shankar and later worked with LSD pioneer Timothy Leary, becoming music director at Leary's Millbrook Estate in 1965.
He recorded two acclaimed albums for the Vanguard label in the late 60s before retiring from
public performance for 40 years. Since then his albums have been re-issued on the Light In The
Attic label as well as an acclaimed tribute album recorded on the Tompkins Square label.
I Am The Centre: New Age Music in America 1950-1990
One of the last widely-agreed bastions of musical bad taste, new age music has been largely ignored outside of spiritualist bookstores and hotel spas until late last year when Seattle-based reissue label Light In The Attic released I Am The Centre, a compilation of American private press new age music from 1950 to 1990. We speak to the curator Douglas Mcgowan about the compilation and the wider new age music renaissance.
Rob Thorne
We meet one of a new generation of Taonga Puoro (Maori musical instrument) players and makers, Rob Thorne. His album Whāia Te Māramatanga is a meditative work, which delves deep into the Wairua of these ancient instruments.
Folk Fortnight
We attend the opening cèilidh (Scottish folk dance) of Auckland's 'Folk Fortnight' which throws a spotlight on regular folk music events in the region, and provides a good excuse for some special tribute concerts.
Gig Guide
4-5pm
Stages: Barrytown Hall
In Stages, Anthonie Tonnon visits New Zealand's most talked about places to see music, from big city institutions to port town oddities and near-mythical stages in the bush. While on a long summer tour this year, Tonnon met the organisers and audience members that keep our stages running, and collected stories from the bands who travel to play them.
The Barrytown Hall on the South Island's West Coast has been hosting bands since the early '70s, fuelling demand from a migration of alternative lifestylers. Its allure among musicians has seen it visited by international legends like Fugazi and Townes Van Zandt, as well as providing an early touring stop for New Zealand bands, from Blerta to Trinity Roots and The Mint Chicks.
Beastwars live at Kings Arms
Wellington sludge-metallers belt out a set of songs live at Auckland's Kings Arms.
