Get ready for the big chill on An Echoes Winter Solstice. Echoes’ John Diliberto creates a soundscape of snow-shrouded trees, silent saguaro cacti and white-out conditions, with no Christmas Carols.
Many musicians who lit up the Echoes sky left us this year. They may have left the planet but their music remains. John Diliberto remembers, with Echoes in Memoriam.
Jeff Oster, Vin Downes and Tom Eaton play live. They released their debut album earlier this year, a deep recording of ambient improvisation. Every time they play, it’s a different journey.

We throw out our GPS and get out MAPS. That’s the recording persona of James Chapman. His last two albums have been pure joyous, electronic bliss. We talk counter melodies and more.
David Arkenstone talks about his album, Winterlude. It’s a seasonal tone poem without Christmas carols and without sleigh bells. Join John Diliberto for this exclusive interview.
We’ll hear two singers on the edge: KÁRYYN and Sheenah Ko. We’ll also look back at the influential album Who’s Afriad of the Art of Noise, by the band Art of Noise, released in 1984.
