Echoes App: The Echoes App allows you to listen to Echoes and Echoes Online (subscription required) and explore all the great Echoes content! Echoes is a daily two-hour music soundscape, distributed by Public Radio International and broadcast on 130 radio stations from Maine to California. 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, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush and Enya, as well as less well-known known composers such as Dead Can Dance, Steve Roach, and The Orb. Echoesalso produces Living Room Concerts, live performances recorded in musician’s homes or studios and broadcast on Echoes. Concerts thus far have included Mark Isham, Steve Roach, Patrick O’Hearn, Ottmar Liebert, Michael Brook, Robert Fripp, Nightnoise, R. Carlos Nakai, Ancient Future, Sheila Chandra, Adrian Legg, Michael Hedges and many more. The Echoes App is brought to you by Echoes and built by Public Media Apps.

Mobile Sonic Walks proposes a deambulatory listening experience of musical compositions created for and diffused in a chosen site through geolocalisation by the students of the Centre for Music and Technology of the Sibelius Academy at the Uniarts Helsinki. Wandering around in the area you explore the sonic walks with your headphones and mobile phone. You might very well discover hidden aspects of the environment revealed by the compositions and be surprised, although you have been walking there many times. Each sonic walk is different, and their number keeps growing. So, come back and enjoy the variety of styles, composition ideas and sonic worlds in relation to the site. Mobile Sonic Walks are produced with the SoundWays platform developed by the Collective MU.
