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.
