AN AMBIENT SUMMER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION
WITH STEVE ROACH, ROBERT RICH, JONN SERRIE AND JEFF PEARCE Echoes celebrates the summer solstice this year with a special
live performance recorded during last year's summer solstice at
the Whitaker Science and Art Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
in a collaboration with Echoes, the Whitaker Center and Echoes
affiliate, WITF in Harrisburg. Jeff Pearce journeys from Indiana
to unfold the intricacy of his solo ambient guitar meditations.
Bay area musician Robert Rich sets up a primal percussive throb
with synthesizer textures, flutes and lap steel guitar. Out of
the desert of Tucson, Steve Roach arrives to conjure summer thunder
at the edge of the abyss in his techno-tribal dervish. Jonn Serrie
travels from Atlanta, Georgia to walk the spaceways of his synthesized
planetarium music. On the longest day of the year, Echoes creates
a soundscape that causes the night to pulse.
