John Diliberto informed us: “The Best of Echoes 2022, So Far is here, with Trentemøller (Memoria), David Helpling (IN) and Michael Whalen (Imaginary Trains) heading the list….”
Echoes is a daily two-hour music soundscape, distributed by PRX and broadcast on 120 radio stations from Maine to Hawaii (and Alaska!). 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, Moby, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush and Enya, as well as less well-known known composers such as Laurie Anderson, 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 have included Pat Metheny, Yo-Yo Ma, Dead Can Dance, Ólafur Arnalds, Air, Loreena McKennitt and many more.
We encourage musicians to send their music for broadcast consideration. Please see our Submissions practices. Listeners can contact Echoes by by e-mail at echoes@echoes.org or via the website.
