Tuesday, July 14, 2026 – Echoes Program 2628B

On the next Echoes, the return of Beth Orton. She first fused folk and electronica in the ’90s, and now she’s gone even deeper with The Ground Above, a haunting, self-produced album of intimate songs and atmospheric sound. We’ll hear that and more on Echoes with John Diliberto from PRX.

Monday, July 20, 2026 – Echoes Program 2629A
John Diliberto, Michael Stearns and Robert Rich
Today, two electronic musicians who were part of the original 1980s California new age and space music scenes. Michael Stearns and Robert Rich are icons of electronic music and have recorded their first album ever together, Reunion of Breath and Waves. And they did it in person face to face, synth to synth.
Robert Rich: I’ve been using a term for twenty-five plus years now that I refer to as embodiment, which, having lived my life in Silicon Valley until recently, getting extremely tired of the push towards virtualization going on in technology and feeling that to push back, one needs to find a language of physicality, of non-virtual non-virtuality. I think many of the problems that we’re entering into in our civilization has to do with a denunciation of physicality, a denunciation of our animal nature.
We hear some deep musical explorations when John Diliberto talks with Michael Stearns and Robert Rich. Michaels Stearns recordings like Planetary Unfolding, Chronos and Baraka are albums that influenced a generation. Robert Rich has a charted a singular course through electronic music traverses abstract realms, world fusion and electronic dreams from his breakthrough release, Rainforest through his seven-hour album inspired by his sleep concerts, Somnium to his recent CD of the Month, Travelers’ Cloth. Even though they travel in the same music circles and have known each other for 40 years, they’ve never recorded together until now and the results are a spectacular album, Reunion of Breath and Waves.
