On a July 4th we take you into twanguility with an Ambient Americana Soundscape. It’s country and western distilled though Brian Eno ambiences, but still with that country twang.
Flow through a seamless journey of ambient and contemplative sounds on a six-hour Echoes Summer Solstice stream. Saul Stokes, Helen Jane Long, Desert Dwellers, and more take you on a journey through the longest day and shortest night of the year. Bask it in on an Echoes Summer Solstice Stream.
On a Slow Flow Echoes, music by the ambient country band SUSS, although their eponymous release sounds more ambient than country. We’ll also hear classic space music from Robert Schroeder.
We go on a Quest for the Runestone on the next Echoes. That is the tile of David Arkenstone’s latest release as he returns to his fantasy-laden orchestral sound with a lot of Celtic touches.
More long tracks. We’ll hear a classic from Eberhard Weber off his album, The Colors of Chloe, and an electronic artist out of Denmark, Klaus Schonning, from his album, Symphodysse.
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.
Kasbo is an electronic artist out of Sweden whose music hangs between ambient and EDM. He has a new album, The Learning of Urgency. We’ll hear that, as well as music by Caoilfhionn Rose.
