Thursday, Dec 31, 2020 – Echoes Program 2052D

Stomp on 2020 and blow it out of your mind when we dance in 2021 with a Downtempo New Year’s Eve Soundscape. All systems are plugged in, the chill is turned up to 11 as we swing in on electronic sounds old, new and beyond time and space. We’ll be spinning on electronic, downtempo, techno-tribal and other electro propulsive music to make 2020 just a bad memory as we bring the 21st century of sound to 2021.

There are a lot of things we’re going to remember about 2020, The pandemic, protests, the Presidential election. But what you should really take away from this year is the incredible music that came out that was played on Echoes. In recognition of 30 years of Echoes, we’ve just put together our Top 30 list of 2020. We could only fit the top 20 in this two-hour program, but you can see the full list here.

Amon Tobin was an early pioneer of jazz driven electronic music at the turn of the millennium, and now, after a four-year hiatus, he’s returned with new music and new pseudonyms, including the psychedelic persona of Figueroa, where he even sings. John Diliberto drops a tab when he talks to Amon Tobin on Echoes.

Wednesday, Jan 6, 2021 – Echoes Program 2101C
We talk about brain tumors, dreams, pandemic, and some of the best music of 2020, when we talk with Erik Wøllo and Michael Stearns. Stearns is a legend of electronic music from the 1980s. His album, Planetary Unfolding is a classic. Erik Wøllo isn’t far behind, with 5 CD of the Month picks over the last 30 years. But their first collaboration, Convergence almost got terminated.
Michael Stearns: I took the train down to Berlin to visit a friend for 3-4 days before I came back here. And I had a seizure and they took me to the hospital and discovered a brain tumor, so I was in Berlin for the whole month of March and got the last flight out on United Airlines back to the US.
We talk with Erik Wøllo and Michael Stearns about the trauma and dreams behind their September CD of the Month, Convergence .
