It’s a global world symphony on the next Echoes when we talk with Forest Fang. Since the 1980s he’s been crafting an ambient world fusion playing violin, synthesizers and an array of exotic stringed instruments. He has a new album called Letters To The Farthest Star. John Diliberto talks to Forrest Fang tonight on Echoes. http://wp.me/p4ZE0X-4JT

Liked his first several albums a lot. Then came Gongland, which was okay, Phantoms, which I didn't like much, and Animism, which I just decided to sell. Haven't heard this new one, but the description I read a few weeks ago was not promising; sounded like more of the same. Too much reverb and effects on the acoustic instruments, and he doesn't seem interested in finding new electronic sounds anymore.
A few months ago we ran a wonderful interview with progressive world music fusionist Forrest Fang. If you missed it, catch it in the Echoes Podcast where he talks about gu chengs Marxolin's and fractal algorithms. http://wp.me/p4ZE0X-5eR
