Settle in for another night of Long Tracks on Echoes. We’re going to hear a modular exploration from Steve Roach, an ambient track by Pantha Du Prince, and something from Lisa BellaDonna.
Head into psychedelic space on the 50th anniversary of Tangerine Dream’s Phaedra. This is a seminal album that essentially launched the whole sequencer school of electronics.
On the next Echoes, Golden Blue, a husband and wife duo making an intoxicating dream pop. We’ll also hear music from New Zealand’s Melissa Cox who one magazine calls, “medieval hip-hop.”
Cassettes are having a revival and Echoes’s John Diliberto has a lot of them, but it’s not a technology he wants to revisit. But he does like the memories they bring him..
We have one conversation with a trio that has released an album called Seven Conversations. They are Jeff Oster, Vin Downes and Tom Eaton. We talk to them about improvising in ambient space.
Take Sigur Ros, add strings and a more classical sensibility, and you get Limina. By day, Tyler Durham works on film scores. At night he fires up his virtual orchestra as Limina.
Electronic artist Tim Blake was there at the beginning, playing synth for space rockers Gong and Hawkwind and launching his own project of synthesizers and lasers, Crystal Machine.
Do you listen to Echoes to go to sleep? Well, we have the perfect music for you when we hear from Max Richter’s album, Sleep-Tranquility Base, on a Slow Flow Echoes.
We enter the world of Chant. From Abbess Hildegard von Bingen to contemporary musicians exploring a medieval sound, we’ll hear voices descending from the heavens and tuning the spirit.
On a Slow Flow Echoes, music by Gustavo Santaolalla from his score to The Last of Us, the HBO dystopian monster series. We’ll also hear a remix of a track by Omar Faruk Tebilek
