Living Room Concerts
The spring sky is full of heavenly bodies this month: Jupiter and the star Antares in the southeast, Venus (high in the sky) and Mercury (near the horizon) in the west.
It's a perfect time to gaze at the sky in the evening, and here's the perfect soundtrack: a collection of space music Living Room Concerts.
IAN BODDY  |
In 2004, veteran English synthesist Ian Boddy crossed the pond to inaugurate the new Echoes living room. The year before, Ian had appeared on Echoes as part of Redshift when we recorded them in London. This time, Ian came in solo, plugging in his electronic rig and firing up live renditions of music from his CD, Chiasmata. Listen>> |
MARCONI UNION  |
Marconi Union is a duo from Manchester who make a music that travels in cinematic melancholy and textural malaise. Their songs build slowly, emerging out of a flattened landscape of static and stillness to attain a quietly triumphal beauty. We hear them do it live for only the second time ever, in London on an Echoes Living Room Concert. |
MINISTRY OF INSIDE THINGS  |
Taking their name from a line spoken by inventor, Leon Theremin, this Philadelphia-based space music duo charts an electronic terrain pioneered by Tangerine Dream 30 years ago. In the living room of MOIT member Chuck Van Zyl in 2005, The Ministry of Inside Things took us on an electronic journey drawing from themes on their double CD, EVERLASTING MOMENT. Listen>> |
VIC HENNEGAN  |
It doesn't take a lot of equipment to be an electronic musician these days. Which is why Vic Hennegan can take over his tiny dining area just off his galley kitchen in Los Angeles and set up his gear. That's where he sat to play a Living Room Concert for Echoes last year. Vic Hennegan grew up on the progressive rock of Genesis and space music by Tangerine Dream that he heard on the local college station, WXPN. Now he works in Los Angeles, creating music from techno grooves to ambient chill, and he caught our attention with his CD DESERT GOD. listen>> |
