George Martin, The 'Fifth Beatle' (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

When you hear the Beatles, in all their joyful, sassy, creative glory, you hear John and Paul and George and Ringo. You also hear the inventive, eclectic, classically-trained genius of their legendary producer, George Martin. They wore beads. He wore sport coats. He saw their magic. They valued his. Together, they made some of the most amazing music ever. It’s worth digging in to how they did that. This hour On Point, Sir George Martin, dead at 90, and his way with the Beatles. — Tom Ashbrook

Ground Control To David Bowie: Remembering An Icon (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

David Bowie seemed ageless. An icon beyond the space and time he sang about. A pop artist who was always new, always changing. But he knew otherwise, finally. David Bowie died Sunday at 69 after a fight with cancer. He left new music that speaks directly to the death he faced. And a life’s work that speaks to much more. This hour On Point, beyond boundaries. We’re looking at the life and work of David Bowie. — Tom Ashbrook

David Bowie (Terry Gross, Fresh Air)

We remember David Bowie, who died Sunday, with his 2002 interview. He talks about creating -- and leaving behind -- the Ziggy Stardust persona, gender-bending in the early '70s, and why he's not "a very keen performer." Maureen Corrigan reviews 'The Last Interview' series. Linguist Geoff Nunberg picks 'gig' as his word of 2015, and we listen back to an excerpt of late soul singer Otis Clay's 1999 interview.

The Roli Seaboard Rise uses touch sensitivity to provide key players more dynamic range than a standard keyboard. The result is an instrument that can manipulate note values in the same way that a guitar or keyboard can.

The Guardian: Bjork on Iceland: 'We don't go to church, we go for a walk'

Iceland’s most celebrated musician is feeling particularly impassioned about her homeland: she had just held a press conference to raise awareness of the threat to the Icelandic highlands, an area of extraordinary beauty and ecological diversity that may be irreparably damaged by plans to lay a subsea power cable to the UK, accompanied by above-ground power stations and infrastructure...
