Let the sunshine in as Echoes orchestrate a soundscape for the Summer Solstice. We’ll hear music from Michael Whalen, Lis Addison, Mimi Page, Moby and an epic 20 minute track by John Metcalfe called “Sun.”
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.
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.
Moby returns to Echoes with the July CD of the Month, Always Centered at Night. Every track is a collaboration with a different vocalist, few of whom you’ve heard before.
