Big Ears Festival 2025 is upon us and decisions must be made. Echoes host John Diliberto plots his path through the most Echoes-centric Big Ears ever with Steve Roach centering it all.
We take you back to a 2016 live Echoes performance by Ben Neill. He plays the mutantrumpet with 3 bells, 2 sets of valves, a mini trombone slide and a lot of electronic controllers.
Ben Neill has been at the bleeding edge of new music for decades with his Mutantrumpet. Now he has a book, Diffusing Music – Trajectories of Sonic Democratization
On a Slow Flow Echoes, Ian Boddy teams up with German drummer and electronic musician Harold Grosskopf. Grosskopf played on several Klaus Schulze albums and in Ashra and Wallenstein.
On a Slow Flow Echoes, we enter the temple of Steve Roach’s Sanctuary of Desire. We’ll go into one of the long, evolving tracks from this master of sequencer-driven music.

Ólafur Arnalds and his ensemble performed live on Echoes back in 2011, playing music from the album he had just released at the time, “And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness.”
It’s the sounds of Ireland on a Celtic Soundscape for St. Patrick’s Day hear mutantrumpet player Ben Neill talk about his fascinating book, Diffusing Music on Echoes
