CHILLED PIANOS
It's a soundscape of crystal drops on the next Echoes when we hear Chilled Pianos. Despite all the electronic keyboards out there, composers still return to the grand piano, gilding it in ambient glass. View the Playlist

ROBERT RICH: ANALOG DAZE
Techno-tribal pioneer returns to analog space music roots
Robert Rich takes retro-space music and points it back to the future on a new CD called ELECTRIC LADDER. Mixing analog synthesizers, lap steel guitar and some minimalist horn charts by Paul Hanson, Robert Rich takes the classic 70s space music sound and filters it through 21st century sensibilities. In his California studio, Robert Rich talks about analog music in a digital world. View the Playlist

Turn On, Plug In, Head Out
