Settle in for another night of Long Tracks on Echoes. We’re going to hear a modular exploration from Steve Roach, an ambient track by Pantha Du Prince, and something from Lisa BellaDonna.
On the next Echoes, Golden Blue, a husband and wife duo making an intoxicating dream pop. We’ll also hear music from New Zealand’s Melissa Cox who one magazine calls, “medieval hip-hop.”
We go on a quest with David Arkenstone. He returns to fantasy themes and epic orchestrations on his latest release, Quest for the Runestone. Join us in the land of myth on Echoes.
Cassettes are having a revival and Echoes’s John Diliberto has a lot of them, but it’s not a technology he wants to revisit. But he does like the memories they bring him..
We have one conversation with a trio that has released an album called Seven Conversations. They are Jeff Oster, Vin Downes and Tom Eaton. We talk to them about improvising in ambient space.
Take Sigur Ros, add strings and a more classical sensibility, and you get Limina. By day, Tyler Durham works on film scores. At night he fires up his virtual orchestra as Limina.
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.

It’s a Wicked Game on the next Echoes. Chris Isaak’s single, Wicked Game, was released 35 years ago in 1989. This sound has influenced pop music, ambient country and more.
On a Slow Flow Echoes, new music by Orchestra Indigo, which isn’t an orchestra, but just Richard Randlett. When he isn’t playing blues rock he creates electronic ambient chamber music.
