Live from Maui with Richard Cray, Man of la Mancha, Greg Panos with the latest in AI music and Avatars, Ed Ellsworth and the Maui Fires, Jerry Isdale on Island tech and the arts
This week we broadcast from Maui with a wonderful selection of friends who clue us in to what’s happening in this Hawaiian paradise. It’s been a year since the horrible Lahaina fires and recovery has been slow and agonizing to many. Ed Ellsworth gives us an update on that situation. To help recover the Aloha spirit of the island, the Maui Arts and Cultural Center in partnership with The Makana Aloha Foundation and County of Maui Office of Economic Development, sponsored a professional production of the famous Broadway play, Man of la Mancha, starring former Broadway actor/singer Richard Cray, and Hawaii music legend, Amy Hānaialiʻi Gilliom. Richard is a big fan of our podcast and we interview him about his epic role of Don Quixote, and the play’s ability to lift the spirits of all who see it. His partner, Greg Panos, shares with us some of the innovations he sees in the use of virtual and augmented reality and AI music and visuals in enhancing a production’s impact.
Maui maker faire creator Jerry Isdale joins us to share info on Maui arts and tech projects currently underway, his latest works involving dancers, and an update on the formidable looking high tech installations at the top of the local volcano, Haleakalā. Enjoy!
