Long Tracks: We’ll hear four epic pieces all spanning some 20 minutes each.
On the next Echoes: Long Tracks. One of the things about music radio programs is that you rarely hear long pieces of music. And by long we don’t mean the 6:13 length of Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” that was such a break from the 2:30 pop single tradition in 1965. I mean tracks that go 10, 20, 30 minutes or even longer. Well today, I’ve got long tracks for you, four of them which will take up most of the show. We’ll hear four epic pieces all spanning some 20 minutes each. It may be a TikTok world, but Echoes brings us the epics, not the tidbits, with tracks from minimalist pioneer Terry Riley, Tangerine Dream founder Edgar Froese, German minimalist keyboardist Nils Frahm and Japanese ambient composer Hiroki Okano. Take a long ride with John Diliberto on a Long-Tracks Echoes from PRX.
