Agnes Obel talks about her album, the Meaning of Flowers, a recording that reflects the birth of her first child and looks to John Cage and ancient Sumerian writers for influence.
Singer Agnes Obel returns with her first album in 6 years, The Meaning of Flowers. It’s a haunting meditation on motherhood and fame. It’s also the Echoes CD of the Month for October.
David Helpling and Scott Reich go Through The Thought Horizon. “If you can go through the thought horizon, then you’re opening up all kinds of new experiences. You can exist beyond thought.”
On a Slow Flow Echoes, we go ambient country with Carl Weingarten’s album Stop Me Try, and The Royal Arctic Institute’s From Catnap To Coma.
It’s a meeting of ambient music pioneers. Michael Stearns and Robert Rich talk about Reunion of Breath and Waves, the first collaboration of these two ground breaking artists.

The return of Beth Orton, who first fused folk and electronica in the ’90s. Now she’s gone even deeper with The Ground Above, a haunting, self-produced album of intimate songs.
Downtempo artist Bonobo goes even more chill with his album, Distance in Static. And on the acoustic side, we’ll hear the latest from finger-style virtuoso Tim Farrell, Hidden Treasure.
