AN INTERVIEW WITH JOHN LUTHER ADAMS
Tuning in the sound of a frozen world

It was John Cage who suggested that music was always in the air, and John Luther Adams has been tapping that sound for over 30 years. His evocative, atmospheric and sometimes stormy compositions evoke his longtime home in Fairbanks, Alaska. We talk with the noted composer about his life and his permanent ambient installation, The Place Where You Go To Listen, where music is triggered by seismic, magnetic and cosmological events.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MELLODRAMA DIRECTOR DIANNA DILWORTH
A documentary film on the Mellotron & Chamberlin

The Mellotron was the sound of progressive rock and space music in the 1970s. Before digital synthesizers, it was an instrument that played back the sounds of orchestras, choirs, and more to generate the grandeur of The Moody Blues, Tangerine Dream, King Crimson and more. Dianna Dilworth has chronicled the birth of the Mellotron, going back to the late 1940s and the Chamberlin keyboard as well as its current revival. We talk to her about these instruments and their epic journey.

ECHOES THEN & NOW: ROBERT RICH
From sleep music to surrealism

Robert Rich has been a mainstay of Echoes from the beginning. He's one of the more cerebral musicians on the show, mixing sleep studies with ethno-techno designs distilled through minimalism and space music. As we near our 20th anniversary we look back at a musician whose distinctive sound moves from rainforest dreams to Gaudiesque cathedrals of sound.
