OTTMAR LIEBERT ENTERS THE ECHOES CHAMBER
Nouveau Flamenco pioneer tests his finger picking ears
In 1990 Ottmar Liebert created the genre called Nouveau Flamenco music with his debut album of the same name. He's continued to explore the parameters of this style ever since. We sit Ottmar down with a set of headphones and an iPod of tunes to hear his sight-unseen impressions of music that has influenced his style. View the Playlist

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH HAMMOCK
Ambient Duo stretches shoegazing time
Hammock put out one of our favorite albums last year, Raising Your Voice...Trying to Stop An Echo. It was our CD of the Month in January 2007. The Nashville duo of Andrew Thompson and Marc Byrd took their shoegazer affections and stretched them out over ambient time. On a new CD called Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow, they elongate it further in an ambient dreamscape. Hammock swing into the Echoes Living Room, where they play live. View the Playlist
