ANDREAS VOLLENWEIDER Swiss harpist Andreas Vollenweider is certainly an icon of modern music. On his 2005 CD VOX, he sings English lyrics for the first time. But when he came into the Echoes living room that year, he left the songs outside and instead improvised on Celtic harp and Japanese koto. Performing live with percussionist Andi Pupato, Vollenweider spins out three enchanting songs that reveal his mastery of melody and just about anything with strings. listen>> playlist>> |

DON PERIS Intimate music for an imaginary parlor Don Peris hails from Lancaster, PA where he's lived all his life and where he makes music with his wife, Karen, as The Innocence Mission. This year, Peris stepped out on his own with a mostly instrumental CD called Go When the Morning Shineth. He brought a trio into the Echoes Living Room to play a concert of intimate songs that are at once nostalgic and evocative. listen>> playlist>> |

Electric violinist plugs in and loops Caryn Lin plays a space age violin with a rock guitarist’s set of effects pedals. Using her violin for percussion, she creates an ambient chamber music soundscape, layering her instrument with shifting timbres. It sounds like a mutated string orchestra, but it's just Caryn Lin, playing everything in real time. We hear selections from her CD The Call, played live on Echoes.

AJANTAMUSIC Former New Wavers get ambient live on Echoes  Robin Simon, John Diliberto, Paul Simon |

Ultravox, Magazine and Cowboys International were bands from the New Wave that had a then very young guitarist named Robin Simon and his brother Paul as members. Robin meted out slash & burn guitar and Paul pounded the drums. That was 25 years ago. Now Robin and Paul Simon work as Ajanta Music, playing a melodic brand of instrumental ethno-ambient music. In a charming Victorian rowhouse in London, Robin and Simon plug in and play live. listen>> playlist>> |
| It doesn't take a lot of equipment to be an electronic musician these days. Which is why Vic Hennegan can take over his tiny dining area just off his galley kitchen in Los Angeles and set up his gear. That's where he sat to play a Living Room Concert for Echoes. Vic Hennegan grew up on the progressive rock of Genesis and space music by Tangerine Dream that he heard on the local college station, WXPN. For the last several years, he’s been working in Los Angeles, creating music from techno grooves to ambient chill, and he caught our attention with his CD DESERT GOD. listen>> playlist>> |
FORASTIERE A guitarist plucks American sounds Italian style Forastiere is a brilliant Italian guitarist inspired by Michael Hedges and some of the west coast pickers. But he's created his own sound built around intricate melodic interplay and deft rhythmic shifts that are like listening to a maze unfold. Last summer, Forastiere came into the Echoes Living Room to play live. listen>> playlist>> |
