Hear the second of John Diliberto’s two Echoes Podcast episodes from Big Ears 2025—this one featuring legendary German guitarist Michael Rother (Neu!, Harmonia). Rother dives into the history of krautrock, the motorik beat, and his collaborations with icons like Can’s Jaki Liebezeit. He’s joined by electric harpist Mary Lattimore and guitarist Bob Holmes of ambient-country outfit SUSS, whose Across the Horizon project inspired this wide-ranging panel. Billed as The Third Wave of Ambient, this Big Ears Conversation ventures into everything from the roots of experimental sound to the impact of Spotify and AI. A must-listen for fans of ambient, experimental, and electronic music.
