It’s a time of giving so the Echoes CD of the Month is actually 2 CDs. Ane Brun‘s After The Great Storm and How Beauty Holds the Hand of Sorrow are perfect albums for this time of reflection and isolation and you’ll hear them as John Diliberto brings us the December CD of the Month on Echoes.

We talk to Icelandic composer, Ólafur Arnalds. Ever since his 2007 debut album, Eulogy for Evolution, he’s been a leading avatar of ambient chamber music, combining classical forms and electronic ambiences. HIs last album, Re:member, was among his most complex, using the stratus piano system of upright, self-performing pianos. (Read about it here.) On his new album, Some Kind of Peace, he pares-down to a simpler sound for music of introspection. It’s a pandemic meditation when we talk with Ólafur Arnalds on Echoes.

Electronic pioneers Tangerine Dream are #3 of 30 Icons of Echoes. In a special two-hour show, we’ll hear the Echoes Tangerine Dream Documentary as well as music from across the band’s career as well as solo projects. 50 years ago, Tangerine Dream began recording their electronic music in what was then West Berlin. Founded by Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream has epitomized the electronic age of music, recording over 150 albums of synthesized compositions. Their film soundtracks include Sorcerer, Thief, Risky Business, and Legend. Tangerine Dream founder and last original member, Edgar Froese left the planet in 2015, but the group continues on with music he composed. We draw upon over a dozen interviews with the Dream members past and present including Froese, Peter Baumann, Christoph Franke, Klaus Schulze, Thorsten Quaeschning and Ulrich Schnauss as well as comments from Moby, Steve Reich, Steve Roach, Robert Rich and Ian Boddy, to celebrate these Icons of Echoes.
See the complete list of The 30 Icons of Echoes.
Next week, the number 4 Icon, Lisa Gerrard and Dead Can Dance.

On a Slow Flow Echoes, pianist Peter Kater goes Hawaiian, but it’s not a luau album. On Hawaii he taps traditional music and musicians of the island state and creates a lush landscape around them. We’ll also hear new music by the electronic artist Kayobe from his album, Island to Bridges. We build musical bridges on Echoes.
