Programs
Each program walks an arc of moods, two pieces per mood, crossfading between them. Tracks come from free netlabel releases on the Internet Archive and from your library.
Sources for the soundscape
Netlabel releases are free by their artists' choice. Wider Archive audio includes uploads whose rights vary.
Live radio
SomaFM is listener-supported and ad-free; its ambient and space channels are the closest live match to Echoes. Below that, search thousands of stations by genre.

The Echoes atlas
Artists heard on Echoes, from the pioneers to this year's charts. Each links to free full-length listening: the artist's Bandcamp (album streams are free), official site, YouTube and the Internet Archive.
Built in: your 21 Oct 2026 checks of 741 artists, reviewed, with wrong matches removed. Running it again looks each artist up in Wikidata and MusicBrainz for their Bandcamp, official site, SoundCloud, YouTube channel and Spotify links, and counts their audio on the Internet Archive. Links with a ✓ come from that check.
Echoes posts every program's playlist: about 3,000 daily pages from 1998 to 2009 and thousands of posts since. The harvester reads them all on your PC (run powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\EchoesPlaylistHarvest.ps1; the first run takes a while, later runs reuse its cache) and writes EchoesPlayedArtists.json with every artist, how often they were played, and when. Import it here to add them all, then sort by most played or check the ones shown.
Library
Albums that play right here. All 20 of Patrick O'Hearn's album pages are linked track by track, 174 pieces from Ancient Dreams (1985) to Transitions (2011). The audio streams straight from patrickohearn.com; nothing is stored here. Use the tools below to add other artists' sites.
Add albums
Many artist sites don't let other pages read them, so a small PowerShell script does the reading and writes a library file you import here.
Run it with powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\EchoesHarvest.ps1. It writes EchoesLibrary.json beside itself; import that file here.
Or paste an album page's source (View source, select all, copy). Any page with direct audio links works.
Internet Archive
