Iasos was a pioneer in new age music before anybody realized it was there to pioneer. His sound was cosmic and so were his beliefs. But his music was entrancing. Gone at 76.
Iasos was in the first wave of New Age musicians, died on January 6. He created sounds from other dimensions and made it for Angelic Beings. We’ll hear his music tonight on Echoes.
Hear ambient guitar, live, when Jeff Pearce comes in to play music from across his 30-year career, including covers of music by two of his influences, Harold Budd and Vangelis.
