On the next Echoes, new music from the video game Lost Records, Bloom and Rage. We don’t delve into video soundtracks so often although we probably should. We know there’s a lot of good music there and we got one in recently that you’ll definitely be hearing. It’s for the video game Lost Records: Bloom and Rage. It features an underscore by Milk and Bone and several tracks from the trio of Ruth Radelet, Nat Walker, and Adam Miller.

It’s the sound of the planet on the next Echoes as we celebrate Earth Day 2025. We’ll hear music inspired by the vistas and life on earth, as well as music made from the sounds of the earth. A lot of artists use aspects of nature as imagery, many use the sounds of nature. More than any other locale, Japanese artists have embraced the sounds of nature into their music. We’ll hear a suite of music from the recently rediscovered recordings of Hiroshi Yoshimura who passed in 2003.

It’s a journey with an Icon when we celebrate the 105th Birthday of Indian sitar master, Ravi Shankar. His music spanned from classical Indian ragas to films to world fusion. We’ll hear an interview with the legendary sitarist talking about an ancient sound and spirit that helped transform modern music. Shankar died in 2012, but we remember him today on Echoes, starting at 6 p.m. on 91.1, 89.9, and wshu.org.

by John Diliberto 4/4/2025My journey to Big Ears Festival was unlike any of the other five I’ve attended in the last decade. It was the most Echoes-centric festival ever with Steve Roach, SUSS and Immersion, Explosions in the Sky, Laraaji, Flore Laurentiene, William Tyler, Mary Lattimore, Anoushka Shankar, Julia Holter and more performing. EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKYLet’s begin at the end. The last performance of the festival was the one that left me wanting more.
