Our latest album of live Echoes performances is here. It’s called Echoes Live 21. We’ve picked the best tracks from the best live Echoes performances and put them on our 21st CD. Here are the stories behind the tracks.
We launch our 21st CD of live performances, Echoes21. Echoes21 is our 21st edition of live performances on Echoes.
It’s a slow Flow Echoes with new music from a longtime favorite, English synthesist Bob Holroyd.
Twilight Archive is a trio of musicians from Southern California exploring an ambient jazz sound.
It’s another Slow Flow Echoes as we journey through an all-instrumental soundscape that includes new music from Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. We’ll hear an instrumental track from his album, Rattle That Lock. We’ll also hear La Strada, an ambient chamber music CD by Kevin Keller.
We open fall with an autumnal CD of the Month, the debut album by Slow Meadow. Slow Meadow is Matt Kidd who previously made music as Aural Method. With the guidance of the post-rock band Hammock, Slow Meadow creates a serene expanse of elongated melodies and deep textures. This is music that owes as much to Arvo Pärt as Brian Eno.
Ólafur Arnalds is one of the signature composers of ambient chamber music, and in the last year, he’s released an album based on the compositions of Chopin, scored BBC TV series, Broadchurch and recorded an all electronic project as Kiasmos.
Slow Meadow is the performance name of Matt Kidd who started out as a guitarist playing in church and Christian music bands before venturing out on his own ambient journey.
