AN INTERVIEW WITH SHULMAN: CHILLED AMBIENCES IN A HOT ZONE
Israeli electronic musicians tune in altered states
Shulman is the name used by Yaniv Shulman and Omri Haffatz, two Israeli electronic musicians who have created a sound they call Psybient. Mixing psychedelics, electronic and ambient music with a dash of world fusion, they orchestrate down-tempo albums of cinematic design like their latest, Endless Rhythms of the Beatless Heart. From Israel, they plug in and talk on Echoes.

AN INTERVIEW WITH DEVA PREMAL & MITEN: A DIVA OF CHANT
Two early exponents of chant ecstacy talk about their music
Deva Premal is a German singer who grew up in a family of spiritual seekers with Hindu chants as her lullabies. Miten was an English rocker who found a different path. Since 1991, they've been singing Sanskrit chants in lush arrangements that have made them favorites on the Kirtan chant scene and beyond. We hear them talk about their life journeys.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH RADIO MASSACRE INTERNATIONAL
English Space music trio plays electronic music the old-fashioned way, with their hands
While most electronic musicians are wed to their laptop screens, Radio Massacre International plays their music on old analog synthesizers, keyboards and electric guitar. They've become the leading torch bearers for truly live space music, conceived in the moment, without preprogramed sequences. We hear them create new music live in the Echoes Living Room.
