Music by Karmacoda, a band out of San Francisco. They’re tapping that old Trip-hop sound on their new album Lessons in Time. We’ll also hear from Aukai’s new album called Apricity.
Hear seasonal sounds off the beaten reindeer path with winter-themed selections from artists new and old, including Loreena McKennitt’s December CD of the Month, Under a Winter’s Moon.
We talk with Airport People: not weary airline travelers, but ambient chamber music artist Leon Todd Johnson. He has an album of creaky-piano-centered compositions called From Nine Mornings.
Christmas comes early with the December CD of the Month, Loreena McKennitt’s Under a Winter’s Moon. Loreena merges reading from A Child’s Christmas in Wales with songs from the season.
On a Slow Flow Echoes, ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro teams up with slide guitarist Sonny Landreth and we’ll hear some deep ambient guitar by Jonas Munk, who records as Manual.
New music by Olafur Arnalds – kind of. The Icelandic composer has gathered a bevy of other musicians to reinterpret the songs from his album, Some Kind of Peace, on piano.
We’ll hear a new collaboration between string player and electronic artist Rena Jones with electronic artist Kilo Watts and we’ll hear Jean-Michel Jarre remixed by Brian Eno.
Echoes doesn’t have 12 days of Christmas, but we do have 12 CD of the Month Picks. We’ll go through them, first forward and then backwards. 2022 was a great year for music on Echoes.
