DON PERIS: PARLOR MUSIC AND MOVIES
Guitarist creates parlor music for home movies in nostalgic tones
Don Peris grew up and still lives in Lancaster, PA, where he works with his wife, singer Karen Peris in a band called The Innocence Mission. But recently Don released a solo, mostly instrumental CD called Go When the Morning Shineth. It's a wistful, nostalgic recording of intimate guitar melodies and subtle backing. He says the initial concept of the album was to create soundtracks for old Super 8 home movies, of people he didn't even know. We screen his vision in an Echoes interview.

RADIO MASSACRE INTERNATIONAL: SOUNDING THE ELECTRONIC ECHO
British Synth ensemble uses ancient electronics for future music
Their name is intimidating and their music tends toward infinite opuses of electronic rhythms, swirling textures and far-flung melodies, mostly improvised on the spot. For the last 13 years, this Manchester-based trio has been taking up the electronic flag waved by Tangerine Dream and carrying it against all comers. In the London home of Duncan Goddard, surrounded by vintage synthesizers, Radio Massacre International talks about retro-space in the 21st century.
