The Ambient Firm of Lane, Gregorius and Smith: The Echoes Interview

Brannan Lane, John Gregorius and Sean O’Bryan Smith come from different musical worlds that range from deep country and western, to deep ambience. But they’ve gotten together on an album of lush, ambient flanged instrumental music called Emergence. We gather this trio together to talk about their coming together and emerging out.

Our CD Of The Month in November was Speak to the Storm by Russel Walder.  It was so compelling we had to talk to the oboe player who we first knew as one half of the duo Ira Stein and Russel Walder on Windham Hill Records.  The music he makes on his own, in his adopted home of New Zealand, is quite a bit darker than anything he recorded with the duo. When he says speak to the storm, he means it.

Russel Walder: I absolutely believe that the internal conscious state of existence is a storm that never ends, ever.

We’ll be talking to Russel Walder, and weathering the storm, on Echoes.
