AN INTERVIEW WITH MELLODRAMA DIRECTOR DIANNA DILWORTH
A documentary film on the Mellotron & Chamberlin
The Mellotron was the sound of progressive rock and space music in the 1970s. Before digital synthesizers, it was an instrument that played back the sounds of orchestras, choirs, and more to generate the grandeur of The Moody Blues, Tangerine Dream, King Crimson and more. Dianna Dilworth has chronicled the birth of the Mellotron, going back to the late 1940s and the Chamberlin keyboard as well as its current revival. We talk to her about these instruments and their epic journey.

ECHOES THEN & NOW: ROBERT RICH
From sleep music to surrealism
Robert Rich has been a mainstay of Echoes from the beginning. He's one of the more cerebral musicians on the show, mixing sleep studies with ethno-techno designs distilled through minimalism and space music. As we near our 20th anniversary we look back at a musician whose distinctive sound moves from rainforest dreams to Gaudiesque cathedrals of sound.

Thursday 06/18
We have music with old instruments. At least they are old by digital standards. Jeffrey Koepper specializes in music played on vintage analog synthesizers from the 1970s and 80s. His new album is Luminosity and it glows on Echoes.
