ON THE RADIO: Architect Craig Hodgetts of the venerable Hodgetts + Fung guest DJed today for KCRW's Guest DJ Project--he played Miles Davis, the Beatles, Terry Riley, Vangelis, and a Haydn trumpet concerto. He says he wanted to play trumpet like Davis and that he was obsessed with the Blade Runner soundtrack: "It was like the best background music for working on, at that time, with a drafting pen -- which you don’t do any more, and I don’t have any ear buds. But the soundtrack is full of urban and electronic sounds overlayed by Vangelis over a very, very broad palette of synthesizer sounds and other things." [KCRW]
