Nicholas Gunn Goes Trance: The Echoes Interview

Our August CD of the Month was the album, 30 by Nicholas Gunn. In the Echoes Podcast, I’ve got him talking about it. Nick has been a part of Echoes since his self-released debut album, Afternoon in Sedona in 1993, but around 2012, he changed, giving his flute a rest and plugged into software synths and computer generated music for the dance floor.

Nicholas Gunn: In the early 2000s, I was going to the clubs and I was standing in the floor and I was listening to this new thing called Trance. Paul Oakenfold’s “Southern Sun,” Armin Van Buren’s “Rain,” and I was thinking to myself at that time, I should be doing this kind of music.

I’ll be talking to him about 30 , an album on which after nearly a decade, his flute returns. Hear it in the Echoes Podcast from PRX
