Veteran English synthesist Ian Boddy’s As Above So Below is a masgterwork of modern electronics with a classical touch. It’s the Echoes CD of the Month for January.
Ed Harris is another musician who was raised on metal but went into ambient electronic music instead. As Edamame uses field recordings made on his phone for some percussive sounds samples of birds chirping and outside chatter.
There are 12 days of Christmas and on the next Echoes we have 12 months of Echoes CD of the Month Picks. John Diliberto plays tracks off them all from Contact’s Discreet Music in January to this December’s pick, Erik Scott’s In the Company of Clouds.
