Steven Halpern in the Echoes Podcast

Listen to the Steven Halpern interview above, or download it from iTunes.

Steven Halpern has been called the Godfather of New Age music and there’s a lot of evidence to validate that claim. He released his first album of electric piano modalities, called Spectrum Suite, in 1975. That makes 2015 his 40th anniversary as a recording artist. He recently released the album Among Friends: 1975-2015, a 40 year retrospective of works with collaborators, including the late flutist Paul Horn and reed player Paul McCandless, and a new recording called Ambient Alchemy with guitarist Michael Diamond and bassist Michael Manring. We talk to Halpern about the evolution of his music from the “anti-frantic alternative” to his concepts of sound healing.
