Introduction to Echoes |
|||||||||||||
|
Echoes is a daily two-hour music soundscape, distributed by Public Radio International and broadcast on 130 radio stations from Maine to California. With host John Diliberto, a writer for Billboard, Pulse and other magazines, Echoes brings together a wide array of styles, from acoustic to electronic, jazz to space music, the avant-garde to rock. Echoes is a sound that is cross-cultural and trans-millennial, merging cultures and forms, technology and tradition, the ancient past and the possible future. In addition
to the many recordings heard on Echoes, we also produce interview
features with popular modern music figures such as Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel,
Kate Bush and Enya, as well as less well-known known composers such as
Dead Can Dance, Steve Roach, and The Orb.Echoes
also produces Living Room Concerts, live performances recorded
in musician's homes or studios and broadcast on Echoes. Concerts
thus far have included Mark Isham, Steve Roach, Patrick O'Hearn, Ottmar
Liebert, Michael Brook, Robert Fripp, Nightnoise, R. Carlos Nakai, Ancient
Future, Sheila Chandra, Adrian Legg, Michael Hedges and many more.We encourage
musicians to send their music for broadcast
consideration, but be advised that CDs are best. We rarely play cassettes
or DAT, and we never play MP3 files. Listeners can contact Echoes
by post at: and by e-mail
