PIONEERS OF FORBIDDEN ELECTRONICS: BEBE & LOUIS BARRON
Bebe Barron, one of the original pioneers of the electronic frontier has passed
Bebe & Louis Barron go back to the Conestoga days of electronic music when everything was DIY. They worked with John Cage and in 1957 composed the score for Forbidden Planet. At the time, they were forbidden from submitting it for an Academy Award and they couldn’t even get a film credit as composers because electronic music and instruments weren’t recognized. Louis died in 1989. Bebe Barron just passed on April 2oth. We were fortunate to interview Bebe and Louis in the mid-1980s for our Totally Wired series. We return to that interview on Echoes.

AN INTERVIEW WITH DAVID BELMONT: EASTERN JAZZ
American guitarist hears eastern blues and dreams

David Belmont was a normal guitar player until he heard the Paul Butterfield Bands "East West." That set him on a course of Indian inflected finger-style guitar playing that he expands into his Windwater Ensemble. David Belmont talks about his guitar odyssey and latest CD, Postmodern Panache.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MICO NONET: ORCHESTRAL PLAYERS IN AMBIENT DESIGNS
Arvo Pärt meets Brian Eno in Ambient Chamber Music

Joshua Kramer was a founding member of alt-rock darlings, Matt Pond PA, but he harbored more ambient and electronic aspirations. With his collection of vintage pre-digital synthesizers, he gathered some symphonic musicians, including players from the Philadelphia Orchestra, and created music that whispers at the edges of consciousness, where electronic and acoustic sounds converge as one. We talk with Joshua Kramer, cellist Efe Baltacigil and French horn player Paul Lafollette about their Mico Nonet.
