     ECHOES, is a daily two hour music soundscape, distributed by
Public Radio International and broadcast on over 130 radio
stations from Maine to California.  With host John Diliberto, a
writer for Audio, Jazziz, Billboard, Downbeat and Pulse
magazines, ECHOES brings a wide array of styles together, 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 daily artist features ranging from modern music figures
like Andreas Vollenweider, Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, and Mickey
Hart to little known composers such as Dead Can Dance, Steve
Roach and The Orb as well as popular artists like Kate Bush and
Enya.
     ECHOES also produces Living Room Concerts, live performances
recorded in musician's homes or studios and broadcast on ECHOES.
Concerts thus far have included Mark Isham, Patrick O'Hearn,
Robert Fripp, Suzanne Ciani, Nightnoise, R. Carlos Nakai, Sheila
Chandra, Adrian Legg, Loreena McKennitt and Michael Hedges.
Several recordings have been spun off of these concerts including
the title track to Steve Roach's World's Edge, and four pieces on
the latest Happy Rhodes CD, The Keep.
     We encourage musicians to send their music for broadcast
consideration, but be advised that CDS are best.  We rarely play
cassettes or DAT.  We also publish a carriage list, available via
e-mail, a playlist  available on The WELL and on the Internet via
gopher.
     ECHOES also produces the Echodisc catalog, a mail-order
source for the music heard on ECHOES.
     ECHOES has also begun a World Wide Web page, with the
Echodisc catalog, playlists, stations & times, biographies and
music information. The URL is:
