The ceremonies have been delayed twice, but now it’s time for Echoes at the Grammys. We’ll take a look at some of the Grammy nominees from the Echoes galaxy who you won’t see on TV.
The Royal Arctic Institute: not a science organization, although one is a psychologist. This quintet creates atmospheric guitar-centric sound, like the Ventures gone slow mo and psychedelic.
Music from another disciple of Windham Hill guitarist and founder, Will Ackerman. His name is Randal Meek, and Ackerman produced his album, Longings. We’ll also hear from Karavan Sarai.
World fusion was a big part of the Echoes sound in the 1990s, and while no one was looking it has returned with artists like Tropo, Liquid Bloom, Mamak Khadem and many others.
2022 Grammy Nominees David Arkenstone and Wouter Kellerman. They talk about their world fusion album, Pangaea. We’ll also hear from the best new artist of 2021, Brigitte Bardini
Texas-based artist Hollan Holmes paints southern landscapes and rusty artifacts by day, but he heads into electronic space at night, composing music like his CD of the Month, Emerald Waters.
On a Slow Flow Echoes, new music from Charlie Roscoe. He used to record downtempo electronica under the name Jairamji, but he’s gone in a more acoustic direction in the last decade.
We’ll hear music by Lunar Noon, a choral dream pop project of Michelle Zheng. Her debut album is Symbolic Creature. We also have music from Robot Koch’s Sand And Foam project remixed.
An icon of German electronic music returns. Guitarist Michael Rother from Harmonia, and Neu! has a new album with Vittoria Maccabruni called As Long As the Light.
